About this opportunity
This Request for Information from the Naval Research Laboratory seeks potential sources for a high power laser system with an output of 3kW at a 1070nm wavelength. Interested vendors must have the capability to provide a fiber laser meeting specifications for wavelength, power level, size, weight, modulation capabilities, power stability, and safety features. Responses are required to describe how offered products meet technical requirements and provide product literature, with a response deadline of January 11, 2024. Responses shall not exceed 10 pages and will be evaluated on a lowest price technically acceptable basis.
There is no set-aside designated for this procurement. The covered NAICS is 335999 for other electrical equipment, with an applicable PSC code to be determined by respondents. The laser system will be installed at NRL facilities and include an annual service contract of unspecified value. Key requirements include an average optical output of 3kW from a fiber laser not exceeding 200kg or 500mm x 900mm x 600mm in dimensions, capable of modulation up to 5kHz and power stability within +/- 2%.

d. The HPL shall weigh less than or equal to 200 kg
e. The HPL system shall be no larger than 500 mm x 900 mm x 600 mm
f. The HPL shall be capable of both continuous wave (CW) and modulated modes of operation
g. The HPL shall be capable of modulation with frequency in the range of at least 0 – 5 kHz
h. The HPL shall be capable of 3 kW average optical power output with M2 of less than or equal to 1.1
i. The HPL shall maintain power stability to within at least +/- 2%
j. The HPL shall have power tunability at least in the range of 10% - 100%
k. The HPL shall be provided with an output fiber length of at least 5 meters
l. The HPL should have a fiber that is QBH terminated
m. The HPL should have a collimation optics that provide a 20 – 25 mm collimated output beam
n. The HPL shall be designed to run continuously for at least 10,000 hrs
o. The HPL shall be installed on-site at NRL by the vendor
p. The HPL shall include an annual service contract that can be terminated at the discretion of the Naval Research Laboratory
q. The HPL shall have a Safety e-stop for shut down with minimal risk of damage to the laser
r. The HPL shall be water cooled, operated in a closed lab, with minimal heating of the lab
