SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of the Air Force intends to 
grant the exclusive patent license agreement for the invention 
described in:
    BURKE et al., U.S. Patent No. 10,684,591, issued on 16 June 2020 
and entitled ``Optical Rubidium Atomic Frequency Standard.''

Abstract of Patent Application

    An optical atomic clock includes a fiber-coupled electro-optic 
modulator to phase modulate and suppress residual amplitude modulation 
of a frequency-doubled laser; a rubidium-enriched vapor cell configured 
to perform a two-photon transition of rubidium atoms to generate a 
fluorescence signal from the laser; and a differential lock mechanism 
to stabilize a frequency of the fluorescence signal to a resonance 
frequency of the two-photon transition of the rubidium atoms.
    The Department of the Air Force may grant the prospective license 
unless a timely objection is received that sufficiently shows the grant 
of the license would be inconsistent with the Bayh-Dole Act or 
implementing regulations. A competing application for a patent license 
agreement, completed in compliance with 37 CFR 404.8 and received by 
the Air Force within the period for timely objections, will be treated 
as an objection and may be

considered as an alternative to the proposed license.
    Authority: 35 U.S.C. 209; 37 CFR part 404.

Tommy W. Lee,
Acting Air Force Federal Register Liaison Officer.
