A -- FY97 ARL BAA AMENDED SYNOPSIS SOL DAAL01-97-R-ARL SOL DAAL01-97-R-ARL POC POC: Christi Winkler, ARL BAA Coordinator, (301) 394-3385, cwinkler@arl.mil. FY97 ARL BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT -- Amendment 7 -- This synopsis is an additional topic to the Sensors and Electron Devices Directorate (SEDD). This amendment will be available on the ARL home Page (http://w3.arl.mil/baa). TOPIC 2.44 LUMINESCENT MATERIALS AND DEVICES FOR DISPLAYS -- The Army requires investigations into luminescent materials, devices and components, and relevant basic physics studies that couple luminescence, electrical, optical and mechanical properties of these materials and devices. This research and studies are needed to ensure that the displays available for the current and new systems will provide improved performance that is required to carry out complex military missions. The ARL Sensors and Electron Devices Directorate is interested in receiving novel white papers/proposals that address the technical barriers associated with improving the current state of the art in luminescent materials, devices, and components used as basis for the display technology in Army systems. Technical areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) Theoretical and experimental studies of luminescence including electroluminescence, Cathodoluminescence, and photoluminescence. (b) Studies of mirco-mechanics that impact display devices. (c) Investigation of light modulation materials and devices. (TPOC: D. Morton, (301) 721-3417) All responsible sources may submit a bid or proposal which will be considered by the Agency. No telephone requests will be honored. (0241)
