About this file

This is a Specifications document for a federal procurement by NASA Langley Research Center for a compact, pulsed Nd:YAG laser system to be used in developing the Entry Navigation Sensor, a laser-based sensing instrument for flight vehicle applications.

The procuring agency requires a complete laser system consisting of a laser head, laser telescope, power supply, and associated cabling with specifications equivalent to the Arete AIRTRAC-532 (PN: 112510-0003). Key operational requirements include dual-wavelength capability at 532 nm and 1064 nm with minimum output energy of 40 mJ/pulse at 532 nm measured at 20 Hz repetition rate, variable repetition rate between 10-30 Hz, energy stability of ±10% or better, and pulse duration of 3-10 nanoseconds. The system must include a removable 6x optical telescope with beam divergence less than 0.25 mrad and beam diameter less than 35 mm at the telescope exit. Weight constraints are critical for flight application: laser head under 250 grams, electronics under 200 grams, and telescope under 250 grams. Additional performance requirements include peak power less than 100 watts, warm-up time under 30 seconds, storage temperature range of -40°C to +80°C, operational temperature range of -30°C to +60°C, and vibration resistance compliant with MIL-STD-810G or higher standards. Size, weight, power consumption, and pulse energy are identified as critically important specifications due to the flight vehicle application.

Specifications

1. Objective/Requirements A compact, low-power, low-weight, pulsed Nd:YAG laser to be operated at both 1064 nm and 532 nm is being purchased by NASA Langley Research Center to develop a laser-based sensing instrument called the Entry Navigation Sensor. The laser is being evaluated for use on a flight vehicle, so size, weight and power are critically important specifications. Also high pulse energy is better in our application so the laser’s output energy/pulse is critical but other specifications such repetition rate and beam shape are important. Environmental aspects (resistance to vibration and operating/transport temperature) are also important.

2. Characteristics, Scope, and Specs NASA Langley Research Center is seeking to purchase a compact YAG laser. The system shall consist of the laser, laser telescope and associated power supply and cabling. Further specifications follow:

• The laser shall have specifications equivalent to the Arete AIRTRAC-532 PN: 112510-0003 with the following physical and operational specifications:

o Operation at 532 nm and 1064 nm o Output energy shall be at least 40 mJ/pulse laser output at 532 nm, measured at 20 Hz repetition rate o Repetition rate shall be variable between at least 10 Hz and 30 Hz o Minimum energy stability shall be less than +/-10% o Pulse duration shall be in the range of 3-10 ns o Removable 6x optical telescope shall be included o Beam divergence (with telescope) shall be less than 0.25 mrad at

532 nm o Beam diameter (at exit of telescope) shall be less than 35 mm o Weight of laser head shall be less than 250 g o Weight of electronics shall be less than 200 g o Weight of telescope shall be less than 250 g o Peak power shall be less than 100 W o Warm up time shall be less than 30 sec o Storage temperature shall be at least -40 C to + 80 C o Operational temperature shall be at least -30 C to + 60 C.

o Operational vibration shall be MIL-STD-810G or higher.
