- Description
- NASA/ARC has a requirement for (1) Quantum Cascade Laser device which will supportthe development and deployment of trace gas detection for instrumentation using mid-IRlaser technologies.The cascade laser will be used as a light source in mid-infrared absorption manufacturedspecifically to measure gaseous carbon monoxide and nitrous oxide found in thetroposphere and stratospheric regions of Earths atmosphere.NASA/ARC intends to purchase the device from Los Gatos Research, Inc, 67 East Evelyn Ave,Suite 3, Mountain View, CA 94041. Los Gatos Research, Inc has unique working knowledgefor this particular Quantum Cascade Laser device which is compatible with the existingLos Gatos Research NOBALT dewar.The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. The cascade shall have or meet the following requirements:The laser device must be tunable over the 4565 to 4580 nm in wavelength range which willhave a continuous wave operation. The device must be in single mode over the range of4565 to 4580 nm with the minimum of 20 milliwatt optical output power. This laser deviceis to operate in the 80 to 100 Kelvin temperature range and is not to exceed the currentdrive of 1000 milliamps. Overall, physical dimensions must be compatible with theexisting Los Gatos Research NOBALT dewar with the specifications of ( 19 x 7 x 2millimeters). Interested parties may submit a written capabilities statement to Hai-Nam.H.Tran nolater than 12:30 PM PST on 04/30/2008. Please reference NNA08232088Q-AMT in any response.Such capabilities will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or notto conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government notto compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based uponresponses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. An Ombudsman has been appointed. See NASA Specific Note "B".
