About this opportunity
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, under the Department of Energy, intends to procure a femtosecond laser system with two synchronized outputs to enable remote sensing measurements through femtosecond laser filamentation, with a Request for Information due August 10, 2026.
The procured system will support funded remote sensing experiments including femtosecond beam propagation and remote plasma generation for isotope sensing, air-lasing schemes leveraging two-color synchronized beams, spatiotemporally shaped free-standing plasma channels in air for electromagnetic spectrum manipulation and reflection, and high-energy beams to study filament-filament interactions. Each of the two synchronized outputs must deliver pulse energy exceeding 9.0 millijoules at 1 kilohert repetition rate.
Performance will take place at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California. The procurement carries no set-aside. Responses to the RFI should be submitted to Brian Zatkow at bzatkow@lbl.gov, with an email submission deadline of 3:00 PM Pacific on Monday, August 20, 2026. The RFI document attached to the opportunity posting contains detailed desired specifications and response instructions.
Notice text
The Laser Technologies Group at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory intends to procure a laser system that will enable remote sensing measurements through femtosecond laser filamentation. Specifically, the group is looking for a laser system that enables the following funded remote sensing experiments and research: femtosecond beam propagation and remote plasma generation for isotope sensing; air-lasing schemes leveraging novel two-color synchronized beams; spatiotemporally shaped; free-standing plasma channels in air for manipulation and reflection of different portions of the electromagnetic spectrum; and high-energy beams to study filament–filament interactions.
This suite of remote sensing research problems described above utilizes different facets of femtosecond laser filamentation and involves two appropriately synchronized beams. Please see the attached RFI document for desired specifications and response instructions.
