- Notice ID Number NIST-FY25-CHIPS-0090 Title:?Sources Sought Notice for Noventa single-mode Torus 532 nm laser The purpose of this sources sought notice is to conduct market research and identify potential sources of commercial products/services that satisfy the Government�s anticipated needs. BACKGROUND This acquisition is for a Noventa single-modeTorus 532 250 mpc laser including power supply. The Torus 532 laser should have identical specification as an already existing Torus 532 nm laser. Only the output power can be higher. The lowest available output power is 250 mW. General Technical Specifications Laser shall be a diode pump solid state (DPSS laser with an output power of 250 mW at 532 nm. The laser must have demonstrated that the higher order modes within 30 GHz of the fundamental mode are suppressed by at least 95dB compared to the fundamental mode by the vendor or by a customer. Laser shall have an M2 value better than 1.1 Shall have a beam diameter between 1.5 mm and 1.9 mm Shall have a beam divergence smaller than 0.5 mrad Shall have a power stability better than 0.2% rms over more than 100 hours. Shall have RMS noise from 10 Hz � 100 MHz equal or less than 1.2%. The polarization of the laser beam shall be linear with a ratio higher than 100:1 The laser beam output shall be at a height of 41 mm or less. The length of the laser shall be less than 14.5�. The width of the laser shall be less than 5.6�. The laser shall fit onto a 5.6� wide platform that the laser output is in the center of the 5.6� wide platform. The laser shall not require cooling by water or fan(s). Shall include all necessary cables, hardware, and power supplies. Power supplies must be US standard 110 V at 60 Hz. All components shall be new. Used or refurbished systems will not be considered. NIST is seeking information from sources that may be capable of providing a solution that will achieve the objectives described above.
