TITLE: Cavity Stabilized Laser System Requesting Lab/Division/Group: 68607 Requisition Number: NB686070-20-00741

Statement of Need The Fiber Sources and Applications Group (68607), NIST-Boulder, develops novel methods of optical time and frequency transfer. Recently, this groups has developed frequency comb-based optical two-way time-frequency transfer (O-TWTFT) that can allow frequency and time comparison and synchronization across distributed optical networks. As part of this work, the group requires testbeds with multiple nodes to test connecting distant timescales by two-way optical links. Some of these nodes must be established at remote field sites and these nodes require an optical timescale that will be based on a highly stable cavity-stabilized laser.

Specifically, the group requires a compact, high performance cavity-stabilized laser system that can be operated from a mobile laboratory (i.e. van) with minimal environmental control. The performance of the cavity-stabilized laser system needs to be equivalent to state-of-the-art cavity-stabilized lasers found in future mobile optical atomic clocks. Further, as this cavity-stabilized laser system must be matched in frequency output and form-factor to similar cavity-stabilized laser systems in used by the Fiber Sources and Applications Group for maximum flexibility in reconfiguring the optical network testbeds.
