About this file

This is a Requirements/Specification Document for a federal contract opportunity issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Physical Measurements Lab/Time and Frequency Division/Ion Storage Group (Contract Number NB688000-26-02422). NIST seeks one continuous wave (CW) laser system operating at 422.8 nm for photoionization of calcium to support optical clock development based on quantum logic spectroscopy of trapped ions. The primary item specification requires output power exceeding 50 mW, linewidth less than 500 kHz, mode-hop free tuning range greater than 10 GHz, output isolation greater than 35 dB with included isolator, free space Gaussian output with approximately 2:1 ellipticity, frequency drift less than 100 MHz/K, in-house replaceable diode, and rack-mountable drive electronics with temperature stabilization and pressure compensation capabilities.

Delivery and installation requirements specify completion within 16-18 weeks after receipt of order (ARO). The vendor technician must install the system on-site and confirm performance, with NIST providing guest access and laboratory preparation support; this installation phase should not exceed one day. Government acceptance testing is expected to take 14 business days. Electronic deliverables must include software and electronic manuals. The facility operates on standard 60 Hz, 120 V power. NIST requires a 1-year base manufacturer warranty and minimal training beyond the user manual, with any necessary training incorporated into vendor installation services. Inspection and acceptance is expected to require 14 days. NIST will furnish stable laser sources, a 19-inch electronics rack, and optical table space. No separately priced options or special site planning considerations are identified.
