Summary

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued a sources sought notice for an Optical Reference Cavity, aimed at conducting market research to identify potential sources capable of providing a high-finesse optical cavity with exceptional frequency stability. This optical cavity is intended for use in precision timekeeping and navigation research, specifically to serve as a frequency discriminator for laser locking. Contractors with expertise in photonics, optics, and related technologies, particularly those who can meet the specified technical requirements for multi-wavelength operation and high cavity finesse, are encouraged to respond to this notice.
