Description of Requirement (DOR):

Tunable CW laser and Fiber Amplifier

REQUIREMENT

The Geospatial Research laboratory needs a tunable Continuous Wave (CW) laser that can be tuned from 1529 nm to 1560 nm and an accompanying fiber amplifier that can produce 2W (33dBm) of continuous power at 1532.8 nm. This laser’s performance needs to meet certain specifications provided in the table below. The research team at GRL conducted a gain calculation in the optical fiber to come up with these specifications and requirements for the laser.

System Requirements (Table 1): Table 1, entitled "System Requirements," provides the key specifications we seek to satisfy.

Selection Process: Technical experts at GRL will review each quote offered to GRL in response to this solicitation. To be considered, your quote must show that your product will meet and deliver all the specifications in Table 1. The vendor is requested to provide clear quotes showing that their products meet all the listed requirements to ensure the technical experts see that an offered product will meet all the required standards. Selection will be based on the lowest price, technically acceptable quote.
