- Description
- Narrow-band Mid-IR Laser with Tunable Wavelength and Repetition Rate. NO SOLICITATION DOCUMENTS EXIST AT THIS TIME This requirement is anticipated for Fiscal Year 2022. The Nanoscale device characterization division (NDCD) of NIST is seeking information on a narrow band laser source with widely tunable wavelength to be used in UHV cryogenic nanoscale spectroscopy applications with the following specifications: Specifications The laser source shall consist of a single laser or of an array of lasers housed in a single enclosure emitting collinear light from a single port for all the emitted wavelengths. The laser source shall emit light pulses with at a wavelength tunable at minimum: - between 2.5 �m (4000 cm-1) and 4.0 �m (2500 cm-1) without gaps and - between 5.0 �m (2000 cm-1) and 16.0 �m (625 cm-1) without gaps. - additional tuning range > 16 �m (625 cm-1), if available, is preferred. - additional tuning range between 4.0 �m (2500 cm-1) and 5.0 �m (2000 cm-1) is useful if available - additional tuning range 5 mW for wavelengths 1 ps�and < 500 ns. The laser should include a collinear visible laser output for alignment and troubleshooting purposes. After results of this market research are obtained and analyzed and specifications are developed for a vendor that can meet NIST's minimum requirements, NIST may conduct a competitive procurement and subsequently award a Purchase Order.� If at least two qualified small businesses are identified during this market research stage, then any competitive procurement that resulted would be conducted as a small business set-aside. NIST is seeking responses from all responsible sources, including large, foreign, and small businesses. Small businesses are defined under the associated NAICS code for this effort, 334516, as those domestic sources with a size standard of 1,000 employees or less. Please include your company�s size classification and socio-economic status in any response to this notice.� Companies that provide equipment that can meet the stated requirements are requested to email a detailed report describing their products to forest.crumpler@nist.gov no later than the response date for this sources sought notice. The report should include achievable specifications and any other information relevant to your product or capabilities.
