About this file
The document is a Salient Characteristics template for a federal solicitation detailing technical requirements for a laser glass processing system. The U.S. Army Research Laboratory's Advanced Laser Source Development (ALSD) team is seeking one laser glass processing system with four key technical specifications: 1) Dual heat sources with integrated carbon dioxide laser and resistive fusion filament technology, 2) An advanced CO₂ laser configuration featuring a 40-watt annular beam for uniform heating, 3) A filament fusion furnace with secondary heat source and soft glass splicing capabilities, and 4) High-resolution imaging and alignment features for precision fiber positioning. The solicitation (W911QX-25-Q-A003) is intended to be awarded to Thorlabs, Inc. under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) for only one responsible source, with delivery required within 90 days after contract award to the Adelphi Laboratory Center in Maryland.
