Octosig Consulting Inc. was awarded an indefinite delivery contract by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) with a potential value of $2,637,000.00. Under this contract vehicle, Octosig received a firm fixed price delivery order for $242,240 to develop digital control of the phase and timing of frequency comb output to support modifications to algorithms and systems for both time transfer and dual-comb spectroscopy. Work will be performed in Boulder, Colorado over one year ending in April 2021.
This delivery order aims to advance NIST's precision metrology and timekeeping efforts. As the national metrology institute, NIST requires sophisticated optical frequency comb technologies for applications such as optical atomic clocks, which serve as primary time and frequency standards. By refining control of the phase and timing of frequency comb output, this work supports enhancements to NIST time transfer networks and dual-comb spectroscopy systems used for high-resolution molecular spectroscopy. No subcontractors or socioeconomic set-asides were specified.
