A -- BASIC RESEARCH WORK Sol IPO-LIC:95-J077 Contact Jerome Jay Garcia, Industrial Partnership Office, MS C334. (505) 665-4842, Fax (505) 665-0154 The University of California, which operates the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) under contract to the Department of Energy, solicits interest from companies wishing to license, develop and market a unique all-solid state fluorescence cryocooler. Los Alamos Solid State Fluorescence Cryocooler operates below 77K. The cooling powers can be on the order of one (1) watt for this rugged, low-mass, long-life system. This new technology is based on anti-Stokes fluorescence and utilizes specially designed optical materials pumped by diode lasers. Near term applications include cryogenic detector systems for space and ground based applications and high-Tc RF filters. Future possibilities include high-Tc computers, defense applications, and low temperature operation at temperatures below 1 K. Organizations interested in obtaining a commercial license to manufacture, use, and sell must possess existing capabilities in manufacturing, marketing and support services in the domestic marketplace: These organizations must respond with a statement of intent describing the organization's technical expertise, manufacturing and marketing capabilities, financial resources (e.g., annual report or corporate resume) and motivation for participating in this program. The statement must be dated within 30 calendar days of the date of this notice. (265)
