This is a Salient Characteristics document that certifies the commercial availability of specified laser systems and components for the Army Research Laboratory's Quantum Science & Technology Branch.

The Army Contracting Command - Aberdeen Proving Ground is conducting a sole source procurement (Solicitation W911QX26QA091) for three multiple scientific laser systems and four replacement constituent components for atomic spectroscopy applications in quantum technologies. The requirement includes: (1) a continuously tunable diode laser system spanning 750-790 nm with minimum 10 mW output, mode hop-free tuning, scan speed greater than 5 nm per second, instantaneous linewidth smaller than 500 kHz, at least 40 dB optical isolation, and fiber optic coupled output with frequency stabilization capability; (2) a dual frequency external cavity diode laser system operating at 780 nm and 776 nm, each generating at least 30 mW with 500 kHz linewidth and 60 dB isolation; (3) an external cavity diode laser system operating at 420 nm with 30 mW output, 500 kHz linewidth, and 60 dB isolation; (4) a Pound-Drever-Hall demodulation module compatible with a Toptica Digital Laser Controller; (5) a replacement ECDL laser head operating at 780 nm with 30 mW output and 60 dB isolation; (6) a replacement diode and optical isolator for a Toptica DL PRO laser head at 1270 nm with 30 dB isolation; and (7) a replacement tapered amplifier diode and optical isolator for a Toptica BoosTA system at 1270 nm providing at least 500 mW output power with 30 dB isolation. Toptica Photonics has been determined as the only responsible source capable of meeting these requirements. The PSC is 6640 (Laboratory Equipment and Supplies) and NAICS code is 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing).
