NOTICE OF INTENT -Multiwavelength Tunable Stable Optical Cavity System
Contract Opportunity Analysis
NIST’s Acquisition Management Division is seeking market information from vendors that can provide a Multiwavelength Tunable Stable Optical Cavity System for the PML Time and Frequency Division ADI lab. The requirement is for a new optical reference cavity system with a vacuum package, support for multiple wavelengths, finesse greater than 10k, zero-crossing temperature characterization and control, and a vacuum housing with an ion pump, with delivery, installation, and training included. The system supports precision laser spectroscopy for chip-scaled voltage references using Rydberg atoms, and the stated period of performance is 18 weeks after award for work in Boulder, Colorado. Interested firms are to submit capability statements by email to Angela Hitt at angela.hitt@nist.gov, and no quotes are being accepted at this stage.
