Research abstract
Vector Atomic will prototype and design a Miniature Iodine-Stabilized Oscillator (MISO).nbsp;MISOrsquo;s simplified optical clock architecturenbsp;supports aggressive miniaturization, low-cost manufacturing, and high reliability. The primary focus of Phase I is to prototype the MISO optical reference and feed the results into thenbsp;system design. At the conclusion of Phase I, anbsp;detailed CAD model will be completed including mechanical drawings and a bill of materials (BOM).
