Description

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking information from sources that may be capable of providing a tunable laser controller. The controller must meet or exceed the minimum specifications, including having an interactive screen, being fully digital with 24-bit inputs, and supporting all functions of the Toptica Photonics CLT 1500 laser head. * The controller must have an interactive screen for selecting operational modes and setting parameters. * The controller must be fully digital with 24-bit inputs for the best control resolution. * The laser wavelength must be tunable using a coarse motion stage and a piezoelectric motion stage. * The controller must support and operate all functions of the current Toptica Photonics CLT 1500 laser head.

Budget estimate

$50,000 – $500,000

The budget for this opportunity is difficult to estimate, as the document does not provide a specific budget or pricing information. However, based on the technical requirements and the fact that it is a sole source award, it is possible that the contract value could be in the range of $50,000 to $500,000. This estimate is highly speculative and may not reflect the actual contract value. Factors that may influence the likely payment range include the complexity of the tunable laser controller, the manufacturing costs, and the profit margins of the contractor.
