- Description
- The purpose of this amendment is to revise the description of requirements to spell out special characters for clarification purposes. This amendment also provides answers to questions received in response to the combined synopsis solicitation. The following description of requirements is revised as follows: (vi) Description of requirements: The laser shall provide 8000 W or greater output at the 10.59 micron line. The laser shall be capable of operating in a true continuous wave mode. The laser shall be capable of operating in pulsed mode with a pulse width less than or equal to 75 microseconds. The output power shall be adjustable from 0 to 8000 W. The output of the laser shall be vertically polarized. The profile of the laser in the near-field and the far-field shall be Gaussian or multimode which provides a quasi-flat topped beam intensity profile. A 01 mode with low intensity in the center of the beam is not acceptable. The output beam diameter shall be less than or equal to 30 mm measured at the 1/e2 points. The full angle beam divergence shall be les s than or equal to 5 mrad measured at the 1/e2 points. The laser warm-up time shall be 20 minutes or less. After the initial warm-up period, the laser power shall drift less than or equal to 5% (maximum to minimum). The pointing stability of the laser shal l be less than or equal to 250 microradians. A visible alignment laser shall be included that is aligned to the carbon dioxide laser beam. Included with the laser shall be all necessary power supplies, chillers, vacuum pumps, optics, cabling as well as all other auxiliary equipment needed to operate the system. The length of cable between the laser and the controller shall be 50 ft. The volume of the laser head shall be less than or equal to 350,000 cu inches with a footprint of less than or equal to 40 sq . feet. Height of laser aperture measured from base of laser head unit shall be no less than 40 inches. The laser shall operate at standard US voltages based on single or 3 phase multiples of 115V (i.e. 208, 240, 460 V), 60 Hz. The laser shall be setup and the operation verified by company technicians at the Government work site before acceptance by the Government. All pertinent user manuals shall be provided. A warranty shall be provided. The following questions and answers are provided: Question 1: What will the laser be used for? (i.e. Cutting) If it is to be used for cutting, what materials will be cut? Answer 1: It will not be used for cutting but rather for damage testing of optical devices. Question 2: Is the system required to be a Class I, fully enclosed laser, or Class IV, open laser, architecture? Answer 2: The laser enclosure should provide Class IV access to the laser only at the exit port. Bottom line is this laser is being used for scientific testing and not assembly line manufacture ring so it is not necessary that Class 1 laser status be compl etely maintained, however, we do require an enclosure that provides some level of safety while we are setting up the laser for measurements. NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (24-JUL-2007); HOWEVER, IT DID APPEAR IN THE FEDBIZOPPS FTP FEED ON THIS DATE.
