Items and/or Ancillary Services  Item 1: Optical Frequency Comb Quantity: One (1) Specifications: 1. Optical frequency comb system for measuring frequency ratios between optical clocks and transferring high optical stability (<10^-17 relative stability) between optical clock wavelengths 2. Optical frequency comb covering the wavelengths 1070 nm, 1156 nm and 1542 nm extendible to other wavelengths in the range 500 nm to 2100 nm including 729 nm, 1348 nm, 1397 nm, 1068 nm 3. Optical output channels: 6 comb output channels. 4. Optical input channels: Up to 8 channels in the wavelength range 600 nm – 2000 nm for beatnote generation with CW lasers within certain spectral ranges 5. RF output channels: Up to 8 RF output channels corresponding to the input channels above, capable of producing beatnotes with CW lasers with up to 50 dB SNR in a 100 kHz resolution bandwidth 6. Frequency stability: < 5x10^-18 @ 1 s relative noise achievable for transfer of stability from any one of the wavelengths listed above to the others. 7. Accuracy: The optical frequency comb must be capable of achieving frequency ratio measurements among the wavelengths listed above with offsets below 10^-19 at averaging times beyond 10000 s. 8. Integrated phase noise < 65 mrad across a bandwidth up to 2 MHz 9. High bandwidth control (> 1 MHz) of repetition rate and carrier-envelope 10. Rack mountable comb source (3U height) 11.
