Description
The purpose of this sources sought notice is to conduct market research and identify potential sources of commercial products/services that satisfy the Government-s anticipated needs.
BACKGROUND
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Physical Measurement Laboratory (PML), Microsystems and Nanotechnology Division (MND), CHIPS R&D Program (https://www.nist.gov/chips/metrology-community) as part of the CHIPS Act activities, requires a singly-resonant, continuous wave optical parametric oscillator. The Microsystems and Nanotechnology Division advances nanofabrication technologies and uses them to develop innovative integrated measurement microsystems. This optical parametric oscillator allows for the spectral translation of near-infrared laser light into the mid-infrared spectral region. The mid-infrared region contains strong absorption features of a wide variety of atomic and molecular species of interest to the chemistry and physics communities. A singly-resonant, continuous wave optical parametric oscillator is well suited for this type of spectroscopy due to its wide tunability, high optical power, narrow linewidth, and the ability to translate modulation with high fidelity. In order to measure the wavelength of the pump, signal, and idler beams which the optical parametric oscillator emits we require a high accuracy wavelength meter.
NIST is seeking information from sources that may be capable of providing a commercial solution that will achieve the objectives described above, in addition to the following essential requirements:
The system must run off 120 V power (i.e., standard USA power). The wavelength meter must be able of measuring wavelengths between 1050 nm and 2150 nm (in order to cover the range of pump and signal wavelengths of the optical parametric oscillator). The wavelength meter should be designed to measure continuous wave optical inputs. The wavelength meter should be fibe...
