BACKGROUND

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)/Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST) enables science and industry by providing essential measurement methods, instrumentation, and standards to support all phases of nanotechnology development, from discovery to production. The Energy Research Group within the CNST plans to conduct several time-resolved optical pump-probe spectroscopic measurements on novel materials and systems that require the acquisition of a short pulse, high power and high repetition rate Asynchronous Optical Sampling (ASOPS) System. Ultrafast optical spectroscopic measurements include numerous measurement techniques to study spectral and temporal dynamics in various optical, optoelectronic and optomechanical materials and systems. These techniques typically rely on measuring the response of a material system with high-resolution (in time or frequency domain) upon optical or electrical excitation. The ASOPS System is required by NIST to support research in the CNST user facility and will be used as a shared resource accessible to researchers from industry, academia, NIST, and other government agencies through collaboration.

REQUIREMENTS:

Following are the minimum functional requirements of the ASOPS system that would enable these aforementioned experiments and measurements:

1. The ASOPS system must allow measurements of the temporal response of various material systems with high time-resolution (<60 fsec). The temporal resolution of an ASOPS is perhaps its most-important characteristic because it directly places an upper-limit on the fastest temporal events that can be measured with the system. Equivalently this also places an upper-limit limit on the largest frequency that can be measured with the system. CNST requires the ASOPS system to exhibit a temporal resolution of less than 60 fsec such that it would allow the study of photo-physics in material systems that occur on the sub-100-fsec time scale. Note that shorter pulse widths of the lasers in ASOPS system also correspond to larger bandwidth and higher peak power, thereby allowing capabilities not possible with longer pulses. The system is being purchased for a broad range of experiments developing capabilities that are simply either not possible or inefficient with pulses that are longer.

2. Furthermore, the ASOPS system is intended to be operated with an existing femtosecond streak camera and other pump-probe setups currently installed in the Ultrafast Nano-Optics Lab at CNST. The small temporal resolution of the ASOPS system would allow us to make full use of the short time-resolutions of the existing systems.

3. The ASOPS system will be used for generation and detection of broadband terahertz radiation using home-built optics and electronics. The physical mechanism relying on generation of broadband terahertz radiation using ultrafast lasers is referred to as difference frequency generation wherein the bandwidth of optical pulse exciting the terahertz source directly determines the bandwidth of terahertz radiation emitted. Hence short temporal duration pulses in the ASOPS system would allow us to generate ultra-broadband terahertz radiation.

4. Since the signals in these measurements are weak – the measurements have to be repeated a number of times to average out the noise – requiring the lasers in the ASOPS system to have a very high repetition rate (number of pulses per second).

Minimum Requirements

The system shall meet or exceed the technical specifications identified below. All items must be new.

Prototypes, first articles, demonstration models, used, refurbished or otherwise developmental systems, will not be considered for award.

CLIN 0001: Asynchronous Optical Sampling (ASOPS) System, that meets or exceeds the technical specifications listed below:

Quantity: One (1)

Technical Specifications:

1. The ASOPS system must consist of two femtosecond ti:sapphire lasers producing <15 fsec pulses at 1 GHz repetition rate at a center wavelength of 800 nm. The two ti:sapphire lasers must deliver a time-averaged power of >1.2 W each.

2. The ASOPS system must include an optical triggering module to temporally synchronize the femtosecond pulse trains from the two ti:sapphire lasers with a temporal jitter of <30 fsec (between

0.1 kHz – 100 kHz).

3. The ASOPS system must include the necessary optics and electronics to both stabilize and modulate the repetition rate of the ti:sapphire lasers. The system must also include the ability to perform ASOPS offset stabilization throughout the pump-probe temporal delay range.

4. The ASOPS system must exhibit a temporal resolution to be <60 fsec across the full measurement window (e.g. 1 nsec corresponding to 1 GHz repetition rate) for an offset frequency between 1 kHz and 5 kHz.

5. The ASOPS system must exhibit an offset-frequency range of at least 15 kHz.

6. The femtosecond laser pulses from one of the two ti:sapphire lasers must be carrier-envelope-phase (CEP) locked using an f-2f interferometer or an equivalent mechanism for future integration of a frequency-comb generation unit.

7. The ASOPS system must include an optical fiber for spectral broadening using the CEP locked ti:sapphire laser.

8. The complete ASOPS system including the peripherals must be controlled through a single software interface and compatible in their operation. This control and data acquisition software must be provided by the vendor.

9. The control/acquisition software for the system must be able to interface with a computer using an ethernet or a USB connection, and must be able to acquire time-resolved pump-probe data, including providing the ability to continuously the sweep the delay range, or step and dwell through the temporal range.

CLIN 0002: OPTION - Accessories Required to Upgrade to Comb Generation.

1. The system must include the option to purchase the necessary optics and electronics including an appropriate frequency reference to upgrade the CEP stabilized femtosecond oscillator to generate a frequency comb with a repetition rate or comb spacing of 1 GHz.
