Attachment No. 1 - List of Minimum Specifications.pdf

This document is an attachment to a federal solicitation (FA875126Q0987) specifying technical requirements for a Q-switched ion trapping ablation laser system.

The requirement is for one (1) ion trapping ablation laser that must meet or exceed detailed specifications across multiple performance parameters. Key technical requirements include: Q-switched laser operation at an output wavelength of 532nm (±10nm tolerance) with pulse energy between 5mJ minimum and 40mJ maximum, with full energy available on the first shot. Pulse energy stability must be less than 5% variation between individual isolated single shots, with particular emphasis on first shot stability since continuous rep rate operation is not anticipated. The laser must have single shot capability with BNC cable trigger preferred, with optional higher rep rate capability. The beam profile must be single mode Gaussian shape with low excitation of higher order modes. The system must include an IR filter/separator to isolate the 532nm beam from the 1064nm fundamental wavelength, an output power attenuation method, a diode-based pump laser (excluding flashlamp designs), air cooling (not water cooling), and free space coupling output configuration.
