About this file
This document is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) to identify potential sources for a High Power Laser System with 3kW output at 1070nm wavelength. Interested vendors must submit capability statements by January 11, 2024 addressing technical requirements including a fiber laser design operating at the specified wavelength and power level, size, weight, modulation capabilities, power stability, and safety features. Responses are required to describe how offered products meet specifications and provide product literature, and shall not exceed 10 pages. The laser system will be installed at NRL facilities and include annual maintenance. The RFI is to conduct market research for future procurement planning, and does not indicate a contractual commitment will result.

NAICS: 335999 - All Other Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing
NOTE: THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION OR AN INDICATION THAT A CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENT WILL EXIST AS A RESULT OF THIS RFI. This Sources Sought Notice (SSN) is in support of market research and procurement planning being conducted by the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), Washington, DC. This SSN is for informational and planning purposes only and does not guarantee that this will be competed via FedBizOpps. The Government assumes NO financial responsibility for any costs incurred. A solicitation package is not available at this time.
Contracting Office Address: NRL, 4555 Overlook Avenue, SW, Washington, DC 20375
OBJECTIVE: The intent of this RFI is to gauge industry interest and search for potential sources capable of fulfilling a requirement for a High power laser (HPL) System 3kW, 1070nm in accordance with the following technical requirements. The Government is currently in the planning stages for this procurement and may continue to modify the language within the requirement as necessary. These specifications do not necessarily represent the final specifications.
The High power laser (HPL) System must meet the following specifications:
a. The HPL shall have a center wavelength within 10 nm of 1070 nm as currently used by current DOD directed energy systems
b. The HPL shall be a single mode fiber laser
c. The HPL shall be supplied by 3-phase power with voltage in the range of 400 – 480 VAC
d. The HPL shall weigh less than or equal to 200 kg
e. The HPL system shall be no larger than 500 mm x 900 mm x 600 mm
f. The HPL shall be capable of both continuous wave (CW) and modulated modes of operation
g. The HPL shall be capable of modulation with frequency in the range of at least 0 – 5 kHz
h. The HPL shall be capable of 3 kW average optical power output with M2 of less than or equal to 1.1
i. The HPL shall maintain power stability to within at least +/- 2%
j. The HPL shall have power tunability at least in the range of 10% - 100%
k. The HPL shall be provided with an output fiber length of at least 5 meters
l. The HPL should have a fiber that is QBH terminated
m. The HPL should have a collimation optics that provide a 20 – 25 mm collimated output beam
n. The HPL shall be designed to run continuously for at least 10,000 hrs
o. The HPL shall be installed on-site at NRL by the vendor
p. The HPL shall include an annual service contract that can be terminated at the discretion of the Naval Research Laboratory
q. The HPL shall have a Safety e-stop for shut down with minimal risk of damage to the laser
r. The HPL shall be water cooled, operated in a closed lab, with minimal heating of the lab
