Description
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking a contractor to deliver a tunable laser system with a reference wavemeter for wavelength scanning and locking. The system must meet specific technical requirements, including a continuous lasing output, a coarse wavelength tuning range of 861 nanometers ± 10 nanometers or broader, and a fiber-coupled output power of at least 25 milliwatts. The system will be used for single-defect spectroscopy and optical control for quantum networking. The contractor shall deliver the system within 26 weeks after receipt of the order, and the system shall be warranted for a minimum of 1 year after acceptance.
Key requirements include:
• A continuous lasing output
• A coarse wavelength tuning range of 861 nanometers ± 10 nanometers or broader
• A fiber-coupled output power of at least 25 milliwatts
• An optical linewidth of 100 kilohertz or less
• A mode-hop-free tuning range of at least 30 gigahertz
• A wavelength measurement capability with 5 megahertz or better resolution
• The ability to lock the laser source to a user-set fixed wavelength referenced to the wavelength measurement
