About this file

Written by GovTribe AI ·

This is a requirements document for a federal procurement of specialized laser equipment. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) Synaptic Physiology Section requires a single pulsed 920 nm infrared laser system for neural research applications in retinal studies. The laser must be capable of scanning for neural activity while the retina is simultaneously stimulated with visible light projections, addressing the limitation that visible lasers directly activate retinal photoreceptors and cannot be used for this experimental purpose. The equipment will integrate with an existing LSM 510 microscope system through a dedicated access port for infrared laser input.

The specified technical requirements include 100 femtosecond pulses, approximately 1.5 mW peak power, variable repetition rate capability, an integrated beam chirper, and an integrated acousto-optic modulator (AOM). The contractor must deliver and install one laser unit and provide standard installation support and software configuration assistance to ensure successful hardware implementation. Additional training beyond standard installation support shall be coordinated directly with NINDS SPS as needed. This pre-solicitation notice, issued under Solicitation Number 75N98026Q00703, is administered by the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations.

Requirements

Background:

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) Synaptic Physiology Section (SPS) needs a pulsed 920 nm laser for studying neural processing in the retina. The program area cannot use visible lasers for experiments because they activate the retinal photoreceptors directly. The current preexisting LSM 510 only has visible lasers, but has an access port for piping in a pulsed infrared laser. The program area needs to be able to scan for neural activity with the pulsed IR laser while stimulating the retina with visible movies projected through microscope’s condenser.

Special Order Requirements:

The following product features/characteristics are required:

· Pulses ≤100 fs

· Integrated beam chirper

· Integrated AOM

· Peak power: ~1.5 mW

· Variable repetition rate

· Single wavelength pulsed infrared laser, 920 nm

· 1 laser delivered and installed

Training:

The contractor shall provide any standard installation support and software configuration assistance necessary to ensure successful implementation of the hardware.

Additional training, if required, shall be coordinated with the NINDS SPS.
