External Cavity Diode Lasers

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking a quotation for the provision of external cavity diode lasers. The required items include a 780nm external cavity diode laser, a 776nm external cavity diode laser, a saturation spectroscopy module, a fiber-coupling port for infrared beams, auto-lock software, and fiber patch cables. The lasers must meet specific specifications, such as tunable diode laser with external cavity, full coarse tuning range, output power, linewidth, mode-hop free tuning range, and output beam quality. The quotation should include the price, delivery date, and any other relevant information. The vendor must possess an Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) and a Unique Entity Identification Number (UEI) at the time of award or contracting. Some key points to consider are: • The required items and their specifications • The vendor requirements, including ECCN and UEI • The delivery date criteria, which include completion no later than 4 weeks after receipt of order • The inspection and acceptance plan, which includes on-site acceptance expected to exceed 7 business days • The training requirements, which include the number of trainees, location, and scope of training • The warranty requirements, which include a base manufacturer warranty of 1 year or 3000 hours
