- Technical Specification (Revised) 1 kHz Femtosecond (FS) + Picosecond (PS) amplifier-based system for surface nonlinear spectroscopy & ultrafast dynamics August 19, 2009 The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, herein known as PNNL, operated by Battelle Memorial Institute, under Contract No. DE-AC05-76RLO 1830, with the U.S. Department of Energy, herewith solicits your quote for a 1 kHz Femtosecond (FS) + Picosecond (PS) amplifier-based system for surface nonlinear spectroscopy & ultrafast dynamics, including synchronized femto and pico seed and pump lasers, femto OPA, SHBC + pico OPA, specially designed optical tables, integrated optics, opto-mechanical devices and detection systems including CCD's, to conduct high spectral resolution and ultrafast time resolution spectroscopy and dynamics measurement of surfaces and interfaces, etc. The optical tables, optics and opto mechanical devices and CCD may or may not come from the single provider. However, all the laser system components need to be procured from a single provider. The equipment shall meet the following requirements: 1. The main laser system shall consist of a ~80ps or 100ps picosecond Ti:Sapphire amplified system and a < 35fs femtosecond Ti:Sapphire amplifier. Both systems are to have a repetition rate 1KHz (convertible up to 5kHz optional) and the laser pulses from the two system are accurately synchronized to have <0.5 ps jitter. 2. Picosecond oscillator spec. The 100ps Ti:Sapphire oscillator with a repeatition rate of ~80MHz shall produce power >700 mW@ 800 nm, of which part of the energy (<300 mW) will be used to seed the 1kHz picosecond amplifier. The pulse width of this picosecond oscillator is to be tunable from 60-100ps. If not tunable, fix at 100ps. It should be synchronized with the fs oscillator which will seed the fs amplifier with a jitter < 0.5ps. 3. Picosecond amplifier spec. Output power of the picosecond amplifier shall be > 2W for 80ps pulses or > 3W for 100ps pulses. The spectral width shall be < 0.2 cm-1. This amplifier need to have a SHG/THG unit to provide 400nm/266nm output with reasonable conversion efficiency (For example, >30% for SHG and > 12% for THG, etc.). 4. Femtosecond oscillator spec. The femtosecond oscillator shall produce energy enough to seed a >7W <35fs Ti:Sapphire amplifier laser. This oscillator should be synchronized to the ~80MHz picosecond oscillator above. It should be compact and with proved stability. 5. Femtosecond amplifier spec. Output power is > 7W @ 800nm with a <35fs pulse width at 1KHz. The 7W power @ 800nm is split (tentatively 3W + 2W + 2W) to pump an OPA/DFG unit, an OPA/DFG/SHG/THG unit and an SHBC unit. The 400nm narrowband output from the SHBC unit (~5-10cm-1 bandwidth) will be used to pump another OPA system. The specifications for the three wavelength extension systems are: ~1160nm-15000nm, ~240nm-15000nm, and ~290nm-2600nm, respectively. 6. OPA/DFG/SHG/THG wavelength extension units. The OPA/DFG and OPA/DFG/SHG/THG units should be integrated and automated with optimized computer control. The output power need to be optimized and specified in various wavelength range. 7. Specially designed E shaped floatable optical table system (total area 12' x 18') is needed to host the above laser systems. A layout of the optical table and the arrangement of the laser system need to be provided. (Not necessarily from the same vender, but information should be listed jointly with the laser system). 8. Laser diagnostics: Power meter, spectral monitor and ultrafast pulse diagnostic tools. (Not necessarily from the same vender, but should bid jointly with the laser system or listed as necessary options.) 9. Ultrafast laser optical components and opto-mechanical devices and optical delay lines will be needed. (Not necessarily from the same vender as the laser system.) 10. The system also needs the following components. One high resolution spectrograph (750cm with multiple gratings) enough for 0.2cm-1 in the broad spectral range (250nm-1000nm) with ultrasensitive CCD or EMCCD. This may require more than one CCD or EMCCD to cover the spectral range. Another moderate resolution spectrograph (300cm with multiple gratings) enough for < 2cm-1 resolution with CCD or EMCCD. (Not necessarily from the same vender as the laser system.) 11. The tunable femtosecond Ti:Sapphire amplifier laser system shall satisfy the following primary operating performance criteria. Physical Operating Criteria Primary Performance Parameter Power >7 Watts @800nm Repetition Rate 1 kHz (up to 5kHz optional) Pulse width < 35 fsec Beam Profile TEM00 Pump Laser Diode-pumped Solid-state OPA/SHG/THG/DFG ~240nm-15000nm (femtosecond) Nominal power OPA/DFG ~1160-15000nm (femtosecond) Nominal power SHBC+OPA ~480nm-2600nm tuning range (~5 picosecond, ~5-10cm-1 bandwidth) Synchronization < 0.5ps rms jitter System size The whole <35fs laser system (including the oscillator, amplifier, pump lasers, wavelength extension units, etc.) needs to be hosted within a optical table not exceed 4'x12' 12. The picosecond Ti:Sapphire amplifier laser system shall satisfy the following primary operating performance criteria. Physical Operating Criteria Primary Performance Parameter Power > 3W for 100ps @800nm OR >2 W for 80ps @800nm Repetition Rate 1 kHz (5kHz optional) Pulse width 100 ps OR ~ 80ps Beam Profile TEM00 Pump Laser Diode-pumped Solid-state SHG/THG 400nm (>30%)/266nm (>12%) Synchronization <0.5 ps rms jitter 13. The picosecond Ti:Sapphire oscillator laser system shall satisfy the following primary operating performance criteria. Physical Operating Criteria Primary Performance Parameter Power > 700mW for 100ps @800nm OR >700 mW for 80ps @800nm Repetition Rate ~80 MHz Pulse width ~ 50 - 100 ps adjustable Beam Profile TEM00 Synchronization <0.5 ps rms jitter 14. On-site installation and training shall be included with the purchase, to commence within fourteen (14) days of delivery. 15. Instrumentation shall have a two year onsite parts, travel and labor warranty that includes a minimum of one on-site preventative maintenance service call per year. The warranty shall commence after system acceptance.
