Yeah.. some years (6 or 7?) ago, John Prestage had a prototype of the
physics package working on the bench. Getting from there to a repeatably
manufacturable space flight qualified has been a few years. Not to
mention making flight qualified electronics to go around it. I think the
first flight will be next year or the year after as a hosted payload on
something.
Here is a starting-point:
33rd PTTI 2001:
http://www.pttimeeting.org/archivemeetings/2001papers/paper4.pdf
38th PTTI 2006:
http://trs-new.jpl.nasa.gov/dspace/bitstream/2014/40340/1/07-0487.pdf
39th PTTI 2007:
http://www.pttimeeting.org/archivemeetings/2007papers/paper25.pdf
NIST:
http://tf.nist.gov/general/pdf/742.pdf
JPL:

That was only a quick search, so it is easy to find those and more.
Would be interesting to see how the lasers could be made affordable and
compact. It's a bit difficult frequency/wavelength.
Cheers,
Magnus
