NAICS Code: 334516
BACKGROUND
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is conducting market research to identify alternative sources that (a) are capable of meeting NIST-s minimum requirements for the following commercial products and commercial services and (b) would be interested in competing for that requirement:
The Microsystems and Nanotechnology Division at NIST is developing an optomechanical sensor to characterize the fundamental mechanisms of photo-charging on metal surfaces in ultra-high vacuum, enabling the control and mitigation of light-induced perturbations to trapped ions in quantum computing chips and to neutral atoms in optical clocks and Rydberg-based quantum processors. A compact, ultra-high-vacuum-compatible, multi-channel laser interferometer equipped with miniature in-situ measurement heads and providing picometer resolution is required to detect the three-axis displacements of the constituent cantilever transducer induced by charge accumulation and work-function shifts. NIST seeks a fiber-coupled laser interferometer system consisting of a three-channel Michelson interferometer controller, a breakout box for analog and digital signal access, and three (3) ultra-high-vacuum-compatible focusing sensor heads. The system must provide picometer-class displacement resolution with measurement bandwidth of at least 2.5 MHz across all three channels simultaneously, miniature all-optical (electronics-free) sensor heads rated to a base pressure of 1×10-11 mbar, and a stabilized, NIST-traceable laser source operating in the 1510-1560 nm range. These specifications are necessary to resolve sub-picometer cantilever motion at mechanical resonance...
