Tunable Laser

The Department of the Army, Mission and Installation Contracting Command (MICC) at Fort Drum, has issued a combined synopsis/solicitation under solicitation number W911S226U3380 for a tunable laser. This procurement is classified under NAICS 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, and PSC 6650, Optical Instruments, Test Equipment, Components and Accessories. This opportunity is designated as a small business set-aside (SBA; SBA). Responses are due by June 12, 2026.

The required equipment must provide a tunable wavelength range from 1480 to 1640 nanometers with continuous-wave, mode-hop-free operation. Technical specifications include a laser linewidth of less than 200 kHz, a wavelength setting resolution of at least 0.1 picometers, and a wavelength accuracy of ±15 picometers or better in both step and continuous sweep modes. The laser must maintain stability within ±15 picometers and deliver a minimum output power of 7 dBm across the tuning range.

Operational features include fast wavelength sweep capabilities from 1 to 200 nm/s with programmable control and fine-tuning over at least 10 GHz. The hardware requires fiber-coupled output compatible with standard single-mode fiber systems using polarization-maintaining fiber output coupling. The unit must also support remote control through USB, GPIB, and Ethernet interfaces.
