- Description
- The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has a requirement for the acquisition of (1) One, Coherent Innova Sabre TSM 25 Ion Laser System. The Laser System must have the following: Multiline output powers: Multiline Visible 25.0 watts Single-line output powers: 514.5 nm TEMoo 10.0 watts* 488.0 nm TEMoo 8.0 watts* *M2 * 1.1 Long term power stability: ?0.5% in light regulation mode (measured over 8 hours) ?1.0% in current regulation mode Optical noise: 0.2% RMS in light regulation mode 0.2% RMS in current regulation mode Beam Diameter: 1.9 mm @ 1/e2 points Beam Divergence: * 0.4 mrad (full angle) Beam Pointing Stability: <5 ?rad/?C angle change <5 ?m/?C beam offset change Input power requirements shall not exceed 70 Amps, 480 VAC (3 phase). System must be capable of operating with a ?10% fluctuation in input voltage, Cooling water for the laser head and power supply shall be provided from a closed loop heat exchanger. Performance specifications for the heat exchanger are listed below: Plasma tube shall be of metal disk bore/ceramic envelope construction providing drop-out free operation and uniform gas distribution within the plasma tube. The ceramic is to consist of one piece and contain no frits, welds, or brazes, Plasma tube shall have the output coupler sealed directly to the plasma tube to eliminate absorption of plasma UV in the anode window, which results in premature tube failure, System shall be supplied with RS-232C interface to allow its use with laboratory computers, Laser shall be supplied with a remote control module located on the end of a 15 foot cable. Included in this remote control module shall be a simultaneous digital display of output power, operating mode (light or current regulation), operating wavelength, transverse mode status, and plasma discharge current level. The remote control module shall also provide latching fault diagnostic displays and all controls necessary to operate and monitor the laser and heat exchanger, Remote control module shall contain provisions to allow the user to immediately (<1 sec), repeatedly, and reproducibly switch back and forth between 1 watt multiline output and 25 watt multiline output in both light and current regulation modes. Using RS-232C interface, system shall be capable of switching between 10 different power settings, Laser shall be able to automatically align itself to a lasering condition from a non-lasering condition with no requirement for the user to open the laser head cover or align cavity mirrors, Laser shall be able to automatically tune to individual laser wavelengths as directed by the operator. When wavelengths are changed, the laser shall automatically recalibrate the power detection photocell to the new wavelength to optimize operation, Laser shall be able to automatically realign both cavity mirrors to optimize cavity alignment and achieve maximum output powers, Laser shall have a detector that monitors mode-beat noise and is capable of determining when TEMoo (M2 *1.1) operation of the laser has been achieved, Laser shall be provided with an intracavity aperture to allow control of the transverse mode of the laser. This aperture shall be motor-driven and controlled from the remote control module. Operator shall be able to select individual aperture sizes, select TEMoo operation, or select the closed position. If TEMoo operation is selected, laser shall automatically set the aperture to the size that acquires TEMoo at the highest possible output power. If the closed position is selected, the intracavity beam shall be interrupted and lasering prevented, Laser shall have an integral shutter that is located outside of the laser cavity that is capable of blocking the output beam without interrupting lasering. This shutter shall be controlled from the remote control module to allow its opening and closing. This shutter shall be capable of being used with a safety interlock system such that when the door to the laboratory is opened, the shutter will close and block the laser beam, Laser shall provide self-timed exposures without the need for any external control device. User shall be able to set exposure times on the remote control module from 0.1 second to 3250 seconds in 0.1 second increments, To allow integration into experimental configuration, laser head width shall not exceed 8.00", The plasma tube Brewster window shall be of hard sealed crystalline quartz to prevent color center formation due to plasma UV degradation which results in premature failure of the plasma tube, Laser system shall utilize an automatic gas pressure monitoring and filling system to maintain optimum plasma tube pressure, Laser system shall include a 15 foot armored fiber delivery package including a ?pistol-style? handpiece with integrated laser on/off switch and LED indicator lights, Laser system shall include a high efficiency diffractive optic diffuser to eliminate laser speckle. Transmission efficiency of >70% shall be measured after collimating lenses and diffuser. HEAT EXCHANGER REQUIREMENTS Heat exchanger shall be capable of transferring 60 kW of heat from the laser system secondary cooling water loop to the primary water supply, Heat exchanger shall regulate the secondary cooling water temperature to ?1?C, Heat exchanger shall be interfaced with the laser system for power and control. Heat exchanger shall automatically turn on when laser is turned on, and continue circulating water in the secondary cooling loop for a period of 5 minutes after laser system is turned off, at which time the heat exchanger shall turn itself off, Heat exchanger shall display the temperature, water flow rate, and resistivity of the secondary cooling water loop on the laser remote control module to allow the operator to monitor critical cooling water parameters, Heat exchanger shall shut down the laser in the event that water flow drops below allowable levels, cooling water temperature rises above allowable levels, or resistivity of secondary cooling water drops below allowable levels, The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is 421490 and the size standard is 100 employees. A Sole Source purchase order is intended to be awarded to Advanced Photonics Solution as specified in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), 13. All interested parties may submit a quote, which will be evaluated. Responses must be in writing and submitted to the contracting official listed above, five (5) calendar days after publication of this notice, 3:00 p.m., September 16, 2003, to Ms. Yokita Exum, at 202-307-7832, fax number, 202-307-4877, (Collect calls will not be accepted). All respondents will be considered by this agency. See Note No. 22.
