About this award

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) awarded a $111K firm fixed-price purchase order to Longwave Photonics LLC for the delivery of a terahertz quantum cascade laser (THz-QCL) system. The system will support NIST's Optical Measurements Group in testing components for a spectro-radiometry calibration and measurement testbed. The laser system must deliver continuous wave output in the 3.7 to 3.9 THz frequency range with nominal power of 0.2 mW or greater, operate cryogen-free below 70 K, and include integrated vibration damping, power supply, laser driver, water chiller, and vacuum system components. The contract was awarded without a set-aside designation following a competitive Request for Quotation process, with Longwave Photonics selected as the lowest-priced, technically acceptable quoter.

Longwave Photonics, a minority-owned small business and Asian-Pacific American-owned enterprise located in Mountain View, California, specializes in advanced terahertz technologies and quantum cascade laser systems. The company has established a track record of delivering specialized THz equipment to federal research agencies, including previous NIST and NASA contracts. Delivery of the single THz-QCL system to NIST's Gaithersburg, Maryland facility is required by August 1, 2025, with completion expected within 52 weeks of award, and includes a one-year warranty.
