Doing business with us
Why Sandia?
We at Sandia National Laboratories have developed a number of transition-ready technologies that could accelerate and enhance solutions to challenges posed by chemical and biological threats to industry and to national security. SNL is a technology leader in developing rare-earth doped fiber lasers for high power applications. We have a strong portfolio of patented technologies and innovations, and our mode-filtering technique is now the de facto standard for power scaling of fiber sources. We have assembled a core of leading researchers and experts in the field, particularly for fiber laser applications for active remote sensing. We have outstanding facilities and testing laboratories to perfect new applications and innovations in fiber laser technologies.
We are actively seeking viable partnerships that will help us create and develop our new technologies, including the following:
- Technologies to enhance fiber-based laser sources of infrared, visible, and ultraviolet radiation for detection and other applications
- UV laser induced fluorescence technology for detecting biological agents
- Deep Ultraviolet (235 – 300 nm) Light Emitting Diode Capability
- Technologies related to µChemLab, a hand-held microchip-based instrument for detecting and identifying proteins and other biomolecules
- Aerosol test chamber facilities used for solving problems related to force protection and facility response and restoration after a chemical or biological weapon incident or hazardous exposure and contamination
Partnering with Sandia to develop and enhance these technologies for industry and national security provides many benefits:
- Faster, more economic development cycle—Through decades of exploring innovative and cutting-edge technologies and solutions to complex technological problems, Sandia scientists and engineers have acquired the expertise and special knowledge to accelerate the research and development cycle more quickly and cost-effectively.
- More robust solutions—Sandia applies its renowned expertise in systems analysis and engineering to create practical, enduring solutions for the real world. By insisting that development efforts take into account often less-than-ideal deployment scenarios, Sandia can help industry develop and implement more robust solutions.
- Innovation through interdisciplinary teams—Sandia scientists and engineers routinely work across disciplines to solve difficult challenges. Industry partners who team with Sandia can utilize this profound integration of cross-disciplinary expertise to discover new opportunities for innovative solutions.
- Long-term solutions—As one of the nation’s leading national laboratories, Sandia is charged to perform long-term research that is beyond the reach of most industrial entities. A partnership with Sandia on a project often leads to additional collaborations to create long-term solutions to today’s problems and challenges in other areas.
- Leveraged ROI—Sandia technology development derives from multi-year investments by federal agencies. Using technology developed by Sandia to find solutions to industry and national problems and challenges provides an excellent return on investment.
