STATEMENT OF REQUIREMENTS

Custom Infrared Lenses for the FLaMI Testbed

I. BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The Production Systems Group (PSG) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) conducts research in metals-based additive manufacturing (AM) to develop and deploy advances in measurement science that will enable rapid design-to-product transformation. In collaboration with NIST and outside scientists, the group develops, analyzes, and applies related control and monitoring methods and tools for AM measurement science at NIST. A Fundamentals of Laser-Matter Interaction (FLaMI) testbed was developed for this purpose. The FLaMI system is a fully custom, open laser processing system to advance understanding of laser-matter interaction physics, monitoring, and metrology research.

II. PURPOSE

The purpose of this requirement is to upgrade the FLaMI system to work with high resolution, off-normal imaging optics in the near-infrared (NIR) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) spectra by acquiring custom MIR lenses. This upgrade will place our research at the cutting edge of AM technology, reflecting the latest trends in AM development and bolstering our competitiveness in the field.

III. SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

The contractor shall provide two of each of the following five custom lenses (for a total of ten custom lenses:
