TITLE: Optical Frequency Comb Requesting Lab/Division/Group: Physical Measurements Lab / Time and Frequency Division / Ion Storage Group

NB688000-26-02289

General Statement of Need The Time and Frequency division, as part of the Chronos initiative, requires an optical frequency comb to transfer stability between various laser wavelengths and support work on high-stability optical cavities, optical frequency ratio measurements and to develop future optical timescales.

A high stability optical frequency comb with output spectrum covering wavelengths 1070 nm, 1156 nm, 1542 nm with extensions possible at 729 nm and 1348 nm. Required accessories include all the electronic and optical systems to fully stabilize the comb to both RF and optical reference signals and to generate optical beatnotes at the wavelengths specified above which can be used to transfer stability to those laser systems.
