Description

Notice ID Number NIST-SS25-32

Title: Sources Sought Notice for Optical Reference Cavity

The purpose of this sources sought notice is to conduct market research and identify potential sources of commercial products/services that satisfy the Government-s anticipated needs.

BACKGROUND

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Photonics and Optomechanics Group develops cutting-edge nanophotonic and optomechanical devices for metrology, microscopy, and sensing. As part of our research exploring precision timekeeping and navigation with nanophotonics, including nonlinear light sources, we require a high-finesse optical cavity with exquisite frequency stability. The cavity will be used as a frequency discriminator for laser locking, against which we will characterize the noise and frequency stability of nanophotonic sources.

NIST is seeking information from sources that may be capable of providing a solution that will achieve the objectives described above and preliminary requirements below.

One multi-wavelength optical cavity assembly with vacuum housing.

Technical Specifications:

The optical cavity assembly must meet or exceed the following specifications:

Simultaneously usable (as defined by the specifications below) at central wavelengths of 1560 nm, 1060 nm, and 780 nm Usable within a ±10 nm window around each central wavelength Must exhibit cavity finesse 150, 000 in each wavelength region Must enable laser relative frequency instabilities 1×10-15, as quantified by the minimum Allan deviation and obtained by locking the laser frequency to a cavity resonance Must exhibit linear frequency drift The cavity spacer should exhibit a zero-crossing temperature (in its resonance frequency versus temperature curve) between 25 C and 45 C Vacuum housing with internal cavity mounting block, thermal insulation, heaters and thermistors, and a set of windows for each central wavelength, mounted at 2o with respe...
