About this file
This request for quote solicits offers for a turnkey laser system to support quantum memory experiments. The Naval Research Laboratory requires a stabilized laser system featuring a continuous wave frequency doubled laser operating at 480 nm with at least 800 mW output power, coarse tuning of 8-473-481 nm, and linewidth less than 100 kHz. The system must also include an intrinsically stable difference frequency comb with 4 offset-free outputs at 1560 nm and over 20 nm bandwidth, as well as wavelength extensions including outputs at 1475 nm, 780 nm, and 960 nm. Control electronics and central control software are required to stabilize and lock the laser and comb while providing live frequency measurement and diagnostics. Offerors must meet detailed technical requirements and the solicitation will result in a firm fixed price contract award made to the lowest priced technically acceptable offer. Proposals are due by 5:00 PM on April 24, 2020 and shall be submitted electronically to the specified email address.

ATTACHMENT 1 – PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS
I. Description of Requirement
NRL Quantum Electro-Optics Section 5613 requires a complete, turn-key, stabilized laser system to transition recent quantum memory experiments towards a more scalable and versatile configuration with the use of Rydberg states. A turn-key system meaning laser, comb and all accessories are controlled from a central system or computer GUI where the laser parameters and locks can be implemented and diagnosed. The system has to be capable of 24h/7d operation within laboratory environment. The user interface has to feature an automatic lock of the comb to RF reference, remote locking of 480 nm laser and extension CW laser.
The system will be assembled and characterized at the factory to verify specifications of the complete system. It will be shipped and reassembled to working order at NRL site and include on-site training. The complete unit will provide controls for all locks, system parameters and diagnostics from a computer GUI and the parameters must be accessible with external commands so that the system can be utilized in an experimental sequence suitable to operate a quantum memory.
