58 -- LASER TUBES FOR LASER LIGHT SHOW SOL 1425-97-SP-10-14250 DUE 090597 POC Point of Contact -- Contact Joe Pratt, Contract Specialist at 208 378-5139 or Contracting Officer, Terry K. Ford, Jr., at 208 378-5100 E-MAIL: Bureau of Reclamation, Boise, ID, 62645036@eln.attmail.com. The Grand Coulee Power Office, located in Grand Coulee, Washington has a requirement for: furnishing, testing, and installing 4 new (NOT rebuilt or refurbished) laser tubes for their existing laser light show. The tubes must match the existing installed system which projects a 30-minute laser light show on the face of Grand Coulee Dam each evening approximately late May through early September. The only know manufacturer of the tubes required is Coherent Laser Group of Santa Clara CA. The existing "Innova 200" system consists of power supplies, PCB scanner drivers, F/X driers, AO drivers, mirrors and optics, optical positioning equipment, actuators, a deionized water cooling system, 2 krypton lasers and 2 argon lasers, an ADAT digital playback system for 10 tracks of laser and 2 tracks of audio, computer controller, and other equipment. The installation is highly sophisticated and very unusual since the laser show is projected several thousand feet onto the irregular surface of the dam face at a scan angle of nearly 100 degrees horizontal. This requires high power densities, low beam divergence, low loss optics, and a high degree of color collimation.
