66 -- SHORT PULSED LASER PLASMA SYSTEM SOL N00014-95-R-CR11 POC Alan W. Crupi, Contract Specialist, Code 3220.CR, (202) 767-2550 and Wayne Carrington, Contracting Officer, Code 3220.WC. The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has a requirement for one (1) each short pulsed laser system. The laser system consists of a CW diode pumped actively mode locked Nd-YLF oscillator, a Nd-YLF regenerative amplifier and a fourth harmonic conversion system. The laser system must meet the following minimum specifications: Fundamental wavelength 1053 nm, minimum energy output for CW oscillator: 2 nJ/pulse, repetition rate of CW oscillator: 100 Mhz (+/- 10%), spatial mode from oscillator: TEMOO, minimum energy output from amplified output at 1053 nm: 2 mJ, pulse to pulse energy stability of amplified output at 1053 nm: better than 5% rms, minimum contract between selected pulse from regenerative amplifier and adjacent pulses: 100 : 1, the amplified 1053 nm pulse must have a FWHM angular divergence that is no larger than 2x that limited by diffraction, maximum pulse width FWHM from oscillator: 10 psec, maximum pulse width FWHM after amplification to 2 mJ at 1053 nm: 15 psec, minimum energy output at fourth harmonic: 0.5mJ, Trigger operation: A 5v trigger will be available for rough synchronization of the regenerative amplifier system to a second trigger. The optical output must have less than 20 nsec jitter with respect to this external trigger. The system must provide a synchronized trigger output ()5v, (10 nsec risetime) that occurs a minimum of 2 microseconds prior to the optical pulse output of the regenerative amplifier that has less than 0.5 nsec rms jitter with respect to the optical pulse output. The regenerative amplifier must meet single shot and at a minimum of 2Hz. The system must have a minimum of a one year warranty. FOB destination, required delivery is 90 days after receiving order. The solicitation will close 30 days after issuance of the RFP. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered. Telephone requests for this solicitation will not be honored.
