About this file

This is a Requirements/Specification Document issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Physical Measurements Lab, Time and Frequency Division, Neutral Atom Optical Clocks Group for optical frequency comb systems. The contract number is NB688000-26-02473. NIST requires three optical frequency comb systems suitable for stabilizing various laser wavelengths used in ytterbium optical clocks.

Item 1 consists of one optical frequency comb system with specifications including: 200 MHz or greater repetition rate with turnkey operation; high-speed modulation of f_rep and f_CEO; built-in f_CEO stabilization with phase noise less than 1 radian integrated 10 Hz to 1 MHz and frequency instability less than 5e-17 at 1 second in-loop; f_rep stabilization via optical input at 1156 nm or RF external reference at 10 MHz with identical frequency instability metrics; modules for optical heterodyne beats and laser locking at 1156 nm, 1388 nm, 759 nm, 556 nm, and 798 nm with external laser inputs under 1 mW; locking electronics for all specified frequencies; residual stability for external laser locking of less than 3e-16 at 1 second; f_rep output signal with residual stability of 1e-14 or better at 1 second; total package size of 8U or less rack-mountable configuration; on-site installation and training; and continuous operation capability for multiple consecutive weeks. Item 2 comprises two identical systems with the same specifications except laser locking modules operate at 1156 nm, 1388 nm, 759 nm, 1112 nm, and 798 nm instead of 556 nm. Delivery of goods, installation, and training must be completed within 6-8 months after receipt of order. Government acceptance testing is expected to require 21 business days. Base manufacturer warranty is acceptable, with no extended warranty requirement specified.
