This is a Small Business Set-Aside contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Oewaves, Inc., a for-profit manufacturing company, for the development and demonstration of a silicon nitride (SiN) platform integrated photonic circuit suitable for a spectrally pure chip-scale tunable optoelectronic radio frequency (RF) oscillator. The oscillator is designed to operate as a flywheel in high precision optical clock modules, as well as support radio astronomy, spectroscopy, and local oscillator applications for radar and communications systems. The $122,925.00 firm fixed-price contract is funded under NASA's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) or Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program, and the work is expected to be completed by June 8, 2018.
