TITLE: Squeezing Laser Amplifier

Requesting Laboratory / Division / Group:

Communications Technology Laboratory Radio Frequency Technology Division Highspeed Measurements Group

General Statement of Need:

The product to be procured is a high-power, low-noise, widely operable laser amplifier system with a nominal wavelength range that includes 1064 nm, which will be essential for the generation of optical squeezed states used to interact with microwave-optical transducer devices being developed by NIST. As part of the Quantum Networking and Transduction project within the Communications Technology Laboratory (CTL), the squeezing laser amplifier will provide a strong coherent pump to drive an optical parametric amplifier to generate quantum squeezed states. The high mechanical stability of this generation of device is accomplished with a partially fixed transducer cavity design whereby it is the laser, and thus the laser amplifier, that must be tuned into optical resonance. The first technical requirement is a wide operating range of at least 20 nm, which allows the laser to achieve resonance with partially and fully fixed transducer cavity designs. The second technical requirement is a maximum power of at least 5 watts with a gain of at least 22 dB, allowing the laser to traverse the many lossy optical elements needed for beam preparation before addressing the transducer devices themselves. The third technical requirement is an integrated system for temperature stabilization, current control, and remote programming operation of the device. Additional technical specifications are noted below.

Items and Ancillary Services:

Specifications:

1.1 Operational wavelength range > 20 nm which includes 1064 nm

1.2 Optical gain >= 22 dB

1.3 Input isolation >=30 dB

1.4 Output isolation >=30 dB

1.5 Self-contained benchtop or rack unit with integrated temperature / current control

1.6 Polarization maintaining input/output fiber

1.7 Polarization extinction ratio (PER) of at least 15 dB.

1.8 Total output power of at least 5 watts (37 dBm).
