About this file
This Requirements/Specifications document details NIST's need for a Calcium PI laser system for quantum computing and optical clock experiments. The procurement is for one system comprising two specialized lasers: a 375 nm laser and a 422 nm laser, each with specific technical requirements. The 375 nm laser must be continuous wave (CW), single-mode, with over 30 mW output power, including a laser diode and driving electronics with remote control capabilities. The 422 nm laser must be CW, tunable around 422.8 nm, with an instantaneous linewidth under 500 kHz, over 30 mW output, and include an isolator and replaceable laser diode.
Delivery and installation requirements include completion within 12 weeks after receipt of order, with turn-key installation. The solicitation is a sources sought notice to determine potential U.S. manufacturers, using NAICS code 334516 with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. Vendors are requested to submit four-page capability statements including company details, manufacturing origin, product specifications, lead times, and other relevant information. Electronic submissions are to be sent to the Contract Specialist Lisa Stevens, with no quotes accepted at this stage. The document is part of a market research process to identify potential suppliers for this specialized scientific equipment.

TITLE: Calcium PI laser system Requesting Lab/Division/Group: Physical Measurements Lab/Time and Frequency Division/ Ion Storage Group
NB688000-25-01506
General Statement of Need The Physical Measurements Lab/Time and Frequency Division/Ion Storage Group at NIST performs a variety of quantum computing, quantum simulation, and optical clock experiments using trapped ions. These experiments rely on the use of frequency-stabilized lasers of a variety of wavelengths to drive specific atomic transitions. We require multiple lasers to photoionize neutral calcium 40 atoms, as well as electronics to drive the lasers. For calcium 40, this is a two stage process. One laser at 422 nm needs to excite the neutral calcium atom, and then a second laser at 375 nm excites the electron into the continuum to ionize the atom. Each laser needs an output power of 10s of mW, and the 422 nm laser needs a linewidth < 1 MHz and needs to have the ability to be locked to a wavemeter with a few kHz bandwidth. Driving current and temperature electronics are also required. See specifications below for more details.
