- Description
- NASA/GSFC has a requirement for the modification and testing of 980 nm pump diode lasers in accordance with the following statement of work: The following work shall be conducted by the vendor under this contract. 1. The vendor will develop a test plan that covers the proposed time period of one year. The plan will include analysis, modification, testing, reliability assurance and degradation analysis of JDSU 980 nm single mode lasers with non-standard fiber Bragg gratings attached. The test plan will include a description of the procedures and test documentation. This will include description and analysis of laser designs under test, development of required test equipment (if any), and facilities to support the testing and support for the degradation study. The initial laser characterization will include sufficient documentation to support evaluation and interpretation of reliability test results. The vendor will work closely with NASA, in the development of test plan, as needed. Ten hermetically sealed, packaged, single spatial mode diode lasers will be purchased from JDSU. They will have 0.1 nm fiber bragg gratings spliced on the ends to narrow the spectrum. They will be characterized and then some put on reliability tests at 500 mW, constant-wave operation. Some test articles will also be delivered to NASA. Characterization of devices will include the following: - output power - spectral characteristics Characterization and test configurations and conditions may be modified in consultation with NASA Goddard if other conditions are more appropriate. 2. The experimental results will be delivered in a report. The report will be in the form of vu-graph charts. In addition, the following deliverables must be submitted: 1. Conducting the performance tests above at the vendor location 2. Data report in the form of viewgraphs 3. Three frequency narrowed laser diode packages This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice.
