| Subcontractor | Department of Defense | "TASK 1.1: ATOMIC PHYSICS PACKAGE DESIGN AND FABRICATION
TASK 1.1.1 €€Œ CONCEPTUAL DESIGN: VECTOR ATOMIC WILL REFINE THE CLOCK PERFORMANCE AND ERROR MODELS TO FINALIZE BASIC REQUIREMENTS ON THE VACUUM CHAMBER, ATOM LOADING, LASER BEAMS, AND MAGNETIC FIELDS. MOT LOADING MODELS WILL BE DEVELOPED TO DETERMINE ATOM SOURCE REQUIREMENTS AND BEAM GEOMETRIES, AS WELL AS OPERATIONAL SPECIFICATIONS INCLUDING BEAM SIZE, CLOCK CYCLE TIME, AND SYSTEMATICS. FINAL REQUIREMENTS WILL BE FLOWED DOWN TO THE PHOTONICS TEAMS TO AID IN DESIGN OF THE BEAM DELIVERY, CLOCK LASER, AND FREQUENCY STABILIZATION SYSTEMS FOR THE INTEGRATED CLOCK. CONCURRENTLY, LONG-LEAD TIME LASERS AND ELECTRONICS WILL BE ORDERED.
TASK 1.1.2 €€Œ SR REFERENCE PACKAGE: VECTOR ATOMIC WILL DESIGN AND BUILD A PROTOTYPE COMPACT, LOW SIZE, WEIGHT, AND POWER (SWAP) SR REFERENCE CELL FOR THE PHOCUS CLOCK. THE SR PACKAGE WILL ALLOW BREADBOARD TESTING OF THE SR SOURCE, LASER COOLING AND TRAPPING, AND INTEGRATION WITH PHOTONIC BEAM DELIVERY. THE SR PACKAGE WILL ALLOW FLEXIBILITY IN BEAM GEOMETRY AND BE DESIGNED FOR RAPID ITERATION. CORE SUBSYSTEMS IN THE SR PACKAGE WILL MEET PROGRAM GOALS FOR SWAP. INITIAL TESTING WILL BE COMPLETED FOR THE ATOM SOURCE USING 461 NM COOLING LIGHT. A COPY OF THE SR VACUUM CELL WILL BE BUILT TO ALLOW PARALLEL TESTING OF 461 NM PHOTONIC BEAM GENERATORS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO.
PERSONNEL: BOYD, CINGOZ, ROSLUND, SCIENTIST, CASHEN, SENIOR ENGINEER, ABO-SHAEER
COMPLETION CRITERIA: COMPLETE PHOTONIC BEAM GENERATION REQUIREMENT; DEMONSTRATED ATOM TRAPPING
DELIVERABLE(S): PHOTONIC REQUIREMENTS DOCUMENT; SR CELL COPY; LASER COOLING AND TRAPPING DATA
PHASE II (18 MONTHS)
TASK 2.1: ATOMIC PHYSICS PACKAGE ENGINEERING PROTOTYPE
DESCRIPTION: VECTOR ATOMIC WILL DESIGN, BUILD AND TEST A PACKAGED ENGINEERING PROTOTYPE FOR THE PHYSICS PACKAGE. ITERATIVE ENGINEERING WILL BE PERFORMED ON CORE SUBSYSTEMS (SR REFERENCE, PHOTONICS) AS IDENTIFIED IN TASK 1.7. THE ENGINEERING PROTOTYPE WILL INCLUDE: THE VECTOR ATOMIC SR VACUUM CHAMBER; THE NIST PHOTONIC BEAM GENERATORS; THE NIST AND CALTECH PHOTONIC FREQUENCY COMBS; AND THE COLORADO PHOTONIC CLOCK LASER. FINAL DIMENSIONS AND INTERFACE REQUIREMENTS WILL BE INCORPORATED FROM TEAMMATES TO ALLOW DETAILED SYSTEMLEVEL DESIGN. PHYSICAL COMPONENTS FROM THE PHOCUS TEAM WILL BE INCORPORATED AND TESTED AS THEY BECOME AVAILABLE. THE BREADBOARD SYSTEM WILL BE UPGRADED TO PREPARE FOR LATTICE CLOCK OPERATION AND TO ALLOW ADDITIONAL COMPONENT VERIFICATION. A BREADBOARD CLOCK LASER SOURCE WILL BE ADDED TO ENABLE BASIC SPECTROSCOPY AND TESTING OF THE PHOTONIC BEAM DELIVERY AND COLORADO STABILIZED LASER. THE FREQUENCY STABILIZATION SYSTEM WILL BE UPGRADED TO STABILIZE THE LATTICE LASER AND PRE-STABILIZE A BREADBOARD CLOCK LASER. LASERS SYSTEMS AND ELECTRONICS REQUIRED FOR THE CLOCK DEMO AT CU WILL BE PACKAGED SUITABLY FOR TRANSPORT. A TEST PLAN FOR THE CLOCK AT COLORADO WILL BE DEVELOPED, WHICH WILL INCLUDE CLOCK STABILITY MEASUREMENTS AND ENVIRONMENTAL SENSITIVITY. THE COOLING AND TRAPPING CYCLE WILL BE DEMONSTRATED USING ENGINEERING PROTOTYPE SYSTEM AND BREADBOARD COOLING AND TRAPPING LASERS.
PERSONNEL: BOYD, CINGOZ, ROSLUND, SCIENTIST, CASHEN, SENIOR ENGINEER, ABO-SHAEER
COMPLETION CRITERIA: DEMONSTRATE LATTICE TRAPPING IN THE ENGINEERING PROTOTYPE, PREPARE HARDWARE FOR
TRANSPORT TO CU
DELIVERABLE(S): ENGINEERING PROTOTYPE DESIGN AND TEST DATA FOR ATOM TRAPPING. CLOCK TEST PLAN.
TASK 2.8: STRONTIUM OPTICAL CLOCK DEMONSTRATION
DESCRIPTION: VECTOR ATOMIC WILL VALIDATE BASIC CLOCK OPERATION BY PERFORMING NARROW LINE SPECTROSCOPY USING THE ENGINEERING PROTOTYPE. LINEWIDTH, SNR, AND COOLING CYCLE TIME WILL BE USED TO ESTIMATE CLOCK PERFORMANCE. THE CLOCK LASER WILL BE STABILIZED TO THE SR LINE. VECTOR ATOMIC WILL TRANSPORT THE ENGINEERING PROTOTYPE TO COLORADO, AS WELL AS COMPONENTS FROM THE BREADBOARD SYSTEM NEEDED TO OPERATE THE CLOCK CYCLE. THE CLOCK WILL BE OPERATED AT COLORADO AND MEASURED USING EXISTING NIST FREQUENCY STANDARDS. 1560822 Parent award context Parent award agency: Department of Defense · Department of the Air Force Parent award NAICS: 541715 Parent award performance state: CO Parent award description: PROVIDES FOR OPTICAL-ATOMIC-CLOCK PERFORMANCE IN AN ULTRACOMPACT PACKAGE, USING SCALABLE AND MANUFACTURABLE ATOMIC AND PHOTONIC COMPONENTS View parent award on USAspending | — | $700,000 | Aug 8, 2022 | — – — |
