- COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION Erbium Fiber Laser (I) This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. (II) This solicitation is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ). Submit written quotes on RFQ Number NB847000-8-42285SRG. (III) The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-25. (IV) This procurement is unrestricted and open to all sources. The associated NAICS code is 335999. The business size standard is 500 employees. (V) This combined solicitation/synopsis is for purchase of the following commercial items: CLIN 0001: Two Erbium Fiber Lasers. (VI) Description of requirements with the following: CLIN 0001: The 5W version of the Erbium Fiber Laser should be centered at 1555.4(+/-0.1) nm with an output power greater or equal to 5 W, power stability better than 1% and a frequency line width smaller or equal to 100 kHz. Below are some further options that are not absolutely necessary, but could be useful for our intended task. If you can offer some of these options and they are non-standard, these should be broken out separately in the quotation. CLIN 0001 - Option 1: Tunability, not necessary as long as the stated target wavelength is met, otherwise sufficient tuning range should be provided to reach the target wavelength. CLIN 0002 - Option 2: Stable linear output polarization. CLIN 0003 - Option 3: Amplitude modulation (for active power stabilization) to a bandwidth greater or equal to 1 MHz. CLIN 0004 - Option 4: Output isolation, the laser will be coupled into a periodically poled crystal; therefore some level of back-reflection is expected. While the laser can be protected with an external (free-space) isolator, internal isolation could be advantageous.
