Description: Solicitation Number: F2KBAA4226A001 Solicitation Type: Combined Synopsis/Solicitation Synopsis: This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6 and authorized by FAR Subpart 13.5, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This requirement is a 100% small business set-aside. The NAICS Code for this synopsis/solicitation is 333314, Size Standard 500 Employees. Solicitation/Purchase Request Number F2KBAA4226A001 is issued as a Request for Quote (RFQ) in accordance with FAR Subpart 13.5. This document incorporates provisions and clauses that are in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-76 effective 25 July 2014. The Government intends to award (1) one Purchase Order with (1) one Contract Line Items (CLIN 0001) Laser Diode System Quantity : 2 each Specifications: Laser diode system output power needs to be greater than or equal to 2 Watts. Laser output needs to be 795nm. • Frequency needs to be tunable from 785nm to 805nm with mode free hopping range greater than 10GHz. • Vertical to horizontal polarization ratio out of the final laser needs to be 100:1. Current noise in the electrical supply for the master laser needs to be in the range of 300picoamps per square root of Hertz and 0.3microamps in 1 Megahertz of bandwidth and -145dBm into 50 ohms. Please include graph of current noise level from DC to 1 MHz. Laser absolute linewidth needs to be less than 200kHz full width at half maximum at 75% of maximum output power when integrated over 1 second when locked to an atomic resonance. Laser mount must be solid and should be free of acoustic resonances. To verify, please include graph of frequency noise from 30 Hz to 90KHz for the unlocked laser. Vendor shall provide documentation that laser has and can be used for locking to atomic resonance. Electronic power supply needs to be single unit rack mount, 3U or less, box for everything. Electronic power supply needs to have a minimum of two high voltage piezo drivers. Power supply needs to have a minimum of three channel feedback for both cavity piezo control and current feedback with greater than 80dB noise suppression. • Power supply needs to contain temperature controller, differential high-bandwidth, low-noise photo-detector with power to photo-detector supplied by the power supply, and sweep generator, and the low noise current supply. • Power supply needs to have front panel display and output for external oscilloscope. • Power supply needs to contain modulator and demodulator for AC modulation without broadening the laser line-width. Modulator output maximum should be at least +/-8 Volts amplitude, can be adjusted, and can supply up to +/-500milliamps Laser diodes needs to be user replaceable without having to replace entire module. High (>2Watts) and low power (>100milliwatts) optical isolators with >35dB isolation are required. Optical noise for the diode laser (technical documentation - graph) needs to be provided as well. Single mode fiber coupling efficiency needs to be >70%. If the system consists of an amplifier, then noise data (technical documentation - graph) for the amplifier needs to be provided. The optical noise measurement will be done as follows: First, split the beam 50/50 and send each beam into a photodiode and measure the difference signal on an RF spectrum analyzer. This difference measurement will cancel the classical noise and will determine the shot noise level. Now that you know the shot noise level for this power level, send the beam with the same total power into a photodiode with at least 10 MHz bandwidth. The signal from this photodiode needs to then be sent into an RF spectrum analyzer. How far the 2nd measurement is above the 1st measurement determines the excess noise above shot noise. Please provide graphs of this difference vs frequency from 10kHz to 10MHz, including graphs of each measurement and electronic noise floor for reference. Caution: Make sure that the sum of the power from the two beams in the first measurement equals the power of the beam in the second measurement. Please do these measurements for the beam from the seed laser and from the amplifier. We will accept data at 780nm if the vendor warrants the noise spectra at 795nm. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS 1. Breakout Pricing for each component of the Laser Diode System 2. Laser Use Documentation identified in 3. Technical documentation - graphs a. Electronic noise of master laser current supply Paragraph 3 b. Frequency noise of laser output beam, when unlocked c. Seed laser shot noise data - please include graph of dark current of the photo-detector circuit vs frequency. d. Amplifier (if included) shot noise data - please include graph of dark current of the photo-detector circuit vs frequency.
