Compact Optical Frequency Comb

Tender details

The tender seeks to procure a compact optical frequency comb to support the development and evaluation of a transportable strontium single ion clock. Key objectives include enabling spectral purity transfer between lasers, facilitating local frequency comparisons with other optical atomic clocks, conducting frequency stability measurements, and potentially advancing optical lattice clock development. This procurement is essential for enhancing Canada’s official timescale and influencing the future redefinition of the SI second.
