OEWAVES, INC. SBIR Phase I Award, October 2017

In Phase I of this program OEwaves will investigate the elements of a compact clock architecture, will identify limiting SWaP factors for the key ion clock components. OEwaves will consider core components having a significantly decreased SWaP for use in real-world environments. The particular focus will be given to creation of a monolithic supercavity having short term stability at the level of 10-15. OEwaves team will focus on the development of the cavity suitable for any clock wavelength and will propose such a cavity for the demonstration in Phase II. In Phase I of the effort OEwaves team shall design an optical clock capable of achieving a stability of 10-15/1/2 with flicker floor
