36 -- NONLINEAR CRYSTAL SET FOR EYESAFE WAVELENGTH CONVERSION SOL N00421-95-R-5168 DUE 053095 POC Linda Cullison, Contract Specialist, (301) 826-1827, ext. 152, Linda Suggs, Contracting Officer, (301) 826-1828, ext. 108. The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, Warminster, PA, has a requirement for a nonlinear crystal set for eyesafe wavelength conversion consisting of 4 KTA (potassium titanyl arsenate) crystals. These crystals are 8mm x 8mm x 15mm long (quantity of 2) and 10mm x 10mm x 15mm long (quantity of 2). All of these pieces are for noncritical phasematching in optical parametric oscillators converting 1.06 microns to 1.538 microns (x-cut: theta = 90 degrees; phi = 0 degrees). The entrance and exit faces are polished to lambda/4 at 588nm; +/-1 arcmin parrallelism; 10/5 scratch/dig. Delivery requirement is 45 days after contract award. It is anticipated that a firm fixed price contract will be negotiated with Crystal Associates in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Meet the Agency's Requirements. Crystal Associates, Inc. has completed an SBIR to eliminate the ''grey tracking'' problem in potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) and arsenate (KTA) families that will guarantee performance. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by this agency. Capability information may be faxed to (301) 826-1864 to the attention of Ms. Linda Cullison. See numbered Note 22. (0122)
