The target technology requires a compact, low-size-weight-and-power (SWAP) dual-frequency comb laser with low phase noise, stabilized by phase-locking to a common continuous wave laser, and designed with potential future applicability in space-based systems.

Small businesses must confirm their ability to comply with the FAR clause 52.219-14 on subcontracting limitations if the acquisition were set aside for small businesses. Entities holding a GSA Multiple Award Schedule or other federal contracts must disclose those details. Team responses must include required information for all participating parties.
