Announcement Number: NIST-SS26-117
Subject: Notice of Intent to Noncompetitively Acquire Flexible Laser Stabilization System
The NIST Quantum Measurement Division, Mass Force Group in the Physical Measurement Laboratory (PML) has recently begun a collaboration with other NIST groups developing primary thermometers based on measurements of the Doppler effect in atomic gases, specifically cesium and ytterbium. Accurately extracting the thermodynamic temperature from the Doppler absorption spectrum of a gas requires a laser-based optical frequency comb system with very low intensity, frequency, and phase noise. NIST requires a flexible digital laser servo to actively stabilize the laser system intensity, frequency, and phase noise using lock-in demodulation and proportional-integral-differential control. The digital laser servo must also provide instrumentation to test and characterize the intensity and frequency stabilization performance to ensure rigorous uncertainty analysis of the Doppler thermometer. This procurement is essential for meeting the goals of an IMS project.
NIST intends to award a non-competitive contract to Liquid Instruments (UEI: MS6AHD4EF8D7) for a Flexible Laser Stabilization.
