About this award
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) awarded a $30.1K purchase order to Longwave Photonics LLC, a minority-owned small business specializing in terahertz quantum cascade laser (QCL) technology, for the delivery of a QCL laser module. The contract, awarded on April 11, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of July 26, 2025, fulfills NIST's solicitation for a distributed feedback QCL array compatible with an existing LWP-EASY-QCL-HP system. The module is specified to deliver approximately 4.8 THz output frequency with at least 2 mW of continuous wave power to support the Physical Measurement Lab's Sources and Detectors Group. No set-aside designation was applied to this procurement. The work will be performed in Mountain View, California, under a firm fixed-price contract structure.
The QCL module will support NIST's research in absolute reflectance measurements of microscopic carbon nanotube coatings and enhance current research capabilities in terahertz frequency detector characterization. Longwave Photonics, registered as an Asian-Pacific American owned business since 2009, has established a track record delivering specialized terahertz laser systems to NIST and other federal research agencies through multiple contract awards and Small Business Innovation Research programs. This purchase order represents a continuation of the company's core competency in providing critical components for advanced optical research and supports NIST's mission to develop and maintain measurement standards across the electromagnetic spectrum.
