High-speed camera for cold atom gyroscope sources sought

SOURCES SOUGHT FOR COMMERCIAL ITEM PURCHASE

The National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) seeks information on vendors that are capable of providing a High-Speed Camera for Cold Atom Gyroscope per the attached specifications. The Atomic Devices and Instrumentation Group is part of the Time & Frequency Division of the Physical Measurement Laboratory at NIST. The group performs atomic-clock and sensor research based on laser-cooled and trapped atoms. As part of our continuing work on an atomic interferometer gyroscope, we need to image the cold atom cloud at a faster speed to improve the bandwidth and sensitivity of our measurement and reduce systematic errors.
