93524-1185 58 -- LASER TRANSMITTER SOL F04700-96-T-2745 DUE 030196 POC Donna
Chesher, Contract Specialist, (805) 277-3900 x2255 John Lemacks,
Contracting Officer, (805) 277-3900 x2253. The Range Division requires
a neodymium laser with yttriium aluminum garnet (nd:YAG) transmitter
for the laser detection, measurement and analysis systems support, to
be used for reference calibration laser and spotting laser for forward
ground control. The laser transmitter shall be capable of providing a
uniform pulsed beam of coherent radiation. This laser transmitter
shall consist of a laser head, a power supply and a cooling unit. The
laser transmitter must be capable of being externally triggered and
powered from 120 volts AC or 28 volts DC. The transmitter must be
capable of providing a stable output over extended periods, temperature
variations and shock in desert conditions. The entire laser head is
required to be hermetically sealed to protect the optical elements. It
is also necessary to provide a means to continuously vary the output
energy from its maximum output to one third of its maximum through a
manually adjustable beam splitter or polarizing filter. A beam
collimator is required to ensure a uniform beam quality and achieve a
beam divergence less than or equal to 0.6 milliradian (mr). The laser
shall be a Nd:YAG flash lamp type laser. Internal pulse repetition rate
1.0 H, 10 Hz and 20 Hz. External trigger transistor-transistor logic 5
volt level trigger from 1 to 20 pulses per second maximum. Pulse width
15 ns +/- 4 ns. Beam diameter 0.25 inch. 100 millijoules (mj) of raw
beam energy (5 megawatts at 20 PPS). A polarizing filter or beam
splitter attached to the front of the laser head shall be capable of
attenuating 80 percent of the input laser energy. A collimator shall be
attached to laser head. This collimator shall be no longer than 6
inches, and 1.75 inches diameter. When used in conjunction with the
laser head, the collimator shall be able to achieve beam divergence
equal or less than 0.6 mr. The collimator shall provide a uniform beam.
Dimensions of the laser head chassis shall be no greater than 11.0
inches long, 5.0 inches high, and 4.8 inches wide. The laser shall
weigh no more than 8.0 pounds. This laser shall be mountable on a
tripod mount or pan/tilt with maximum load less than 40 pounds at 5
inches from tilt table surface to center gravity. When the laser is
operated in the 20 pulses/second mode, it shall draw no more than 20
amperes (DC) from the 28 VDC source. A sighting scope with a KG3 filter
(a laser eye protection filter) shall be attached to the laser. The
power supply shall be an external unit with an 8 foot interface cable
between the laser and power supply. The power supply shall weigh no
more than 20 pounds. This power supply shall be no greter than 12
inches long, 8.2 inches high and 8.3 inches wide. The input voltage
shall be from 28 VDC with a current capacity in excess of 20 amps peak.
A line converter is required to convert 120 VAC to 28 VDC. The cooling
unit shall be a continuous operation and liquid cooling unit.
Dimensions of the cooling unit shall be no greater than 6.8 inches
long, 7.0 inches wide and 7.0 inches high. The cooling unit shall weigh
no more than 10 pounds. A commercial operating and maintenance manual
shall be provided with the laser transmitter. SIC Code is 3663. Size
standard is 750 employees. Desired delivery is 45 days after receipt of
order. Simplified acquisition procedures will be used in the
solicitation and award of this contract. Only written quotations will
be accepted. The anticipated award date is 25 Mar 96. All offerors
interested in receiving an RFQ must fax in their request by 1 Mar 96,
Fax number (805)258-9689. Telephone requests to be placed on the
mailing list will not be honored. (0043) Loren Data Corp. http://www.ld.com (SYN# 0211 19960213\58-0001.SOL)
