Calcium Thermal Beam Optical Clock

Ongoing
A simple, compact alternative to the highest performing optical standards, the Ca clock uses a thermal beam of neutral atoms with one or two lasers to achieve

Compact Cold Atom Instruments

Ongoing
The cooling of atoms to microkelvin temperatures using lasers is currently enabling a new generation of precision instruments that take advantage of the long

FPGA Design

Ongoing
Our group is developing FPGA based digital phase noise measurement and control systems.

Frequency Comb Spectroscopy

Ongoing
We use frequency combs based on ultrafast mode-locked lasers to perform precision spectroscopy in the near- and mid-infrared domains, for rapid, high

Indoor Localization and Tracking

Ongoing
This web page is simply a pointer to another page that covers the extensive research program in indoor localization and tracking at NIST.

Microresonator Device Research

Ongoing
With micro-resonators (fabricated in house or by collaborators) we are developing microcombs, integrated reference cavities and low-noise laser sources. The

Optical Cavities for Laser Stabilization

Ongoing
Optical cavities are essential elements of optical atomic clocks, as they serve to pre-stabilize the clock laser. Our Group is currently developing state-of-the

Precision Measurement Grants Program

Ongoing
Since 1970, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has awarded Precision Measurement Grants for significant research in the field of
