This procurement is for the U.S. Naval Observatory (USNO). USNO requires two (2) external-cavity diode laser systems: 1) The laser shall be packaged as a turnkey system, consisting of no more parts than the laser head, controller and connecting cable, and requiring no user alignment. The controller shall provide current stabilization and temperature regulation for the laser. 2) The laser shall be centered at 780.24 nm (in vacuum) and have a mode-hop free tuning range of 100 GHz. 3) The laser shall emit light in a single transverse and longitudinal mode, with a line width of 300 kHz or less. The system shall be immune to vibrations to the extent that the specified line width can be achieved in a standard laboratory environment without user provided vibration isolation. 4) The laser shall output at least 50 mW into a collimated free-space beam. 5) The laser shall have RS232 interfaces for remotely controlling the PZT voltage and other laser parameters. Also, the laser shall have a BNC analog input with a bandwidth of > 1 kHz for controlling the PZT voltage and consequently the laser s frequency. 6) The laser system head and controller shall be completely interchangeable with the Newport TLB-6913 Vortex II and TLB-6813 Vortex plus laser systems in use so as to effectively serve as a replacement for the devices we are using in an operational system. 7)Spare laser heads shall be fully compatible with the TLB-6813 Vortex laser controllers.
