## Summary

The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory has completed a procurement process for a feasibility study titled "Feasibility Study into Novel Concepts for a UV". This study, relevant to the services industry category, aimed to explore innovative methods of generating UV radiation and the fabrication of novel sensors. The tender was conducted through a selective procurement method, linked to a framework agreement, with the contract commencing on 4th July 2022 and concluding on 31st December 2022. The total value of the contract was £98,000, with the awarding date documented as 4th July 2022.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in scientific research and development, particularly those focused on optics and sensor technology. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in nanotechnology and materials science would be well-suited to engage in similar future tenders, as the initiative aligns with innovative practices within the sector. The results from such studies can pave the way for potential partnerships and enhance business offerings in advanced UV applications.

## Notice

The aim is to gain a deeper understanding and to assess: * A novel method of generating UV radiation using nanoscale waveguides to increase the intensity of the driving laser light, whilst allowing for manipulation of the wavefront; and * The use of graphene and other 0D, 1D and 2D materials to fabricate novel sensors, whose performance can be optimised to the emission radiation of the UV source.
