This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Aosense, Inc., a small business manufacturer of quantum sensing technologies. The contract, valued at $124,625.00, is for the development of a free-space, two-way optical time transfer system compatible with global-scale synchronization of current-generation optical atomic clocks. The goal is to demonstrate a system capable of disseminating timing signals with sub-femtosecond error from 1-10,000 seconds, which would represent a million-fold improvement over current radio frequency-based time transfer systems. This research supports NASA's "TIME INTER-COMPARISON USING TRANSPORTABLE OPTICAL COMBS" program, focusing on advancing optical clock synchronization for ground-to-satellite applications.
