STABLE LASER SYSTEMS INC — National Aeronautics and Space Administration SBIR Phase I: S1
STABLE LASER SYSTEMS INC — SBIR Phase I award from National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Phase I SBIR feasibility signal
- Phase I awards fund proof-of-concept work. For capture teams, they mark early interest from National Aeronautics and Space Administration in a technical approach.
- Watch for Phase II follow-ons from the same firm/topic family — that conversion path is where budgets and transition pressure rise.
- Obligated amount $105,000. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Topic code S1 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description
Optical atomic clocks are more frequency stable than any other atomic clock system.nbsp; Deploying these atomic clocks to remote locations would permit exploration of relativistic geodesy, general relativity, and tests of variations of fundamental constants.nbsp; These optical atomic clocks require a highly frequency stable clock probe laser with fractional frequency instabilities of less than 1x10-14.nbsp; Unfortunately, these types of laser systems are currently limited to laboratory use due to size, power consumption, and the electronics required to support the operation of such lasers.nbsp; The development of a compact frequency stable atomic clock probe laser with low SWaP would permit the development of optical atomic clocks capable of being deployed in the field.
