Mode-Locked Laser
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking market information for a mode-locked laser system to support the Microsystems and Nanotechnology Division. This equipment is needed for research into nonlinear integrated photonics devices used in quantum sensing and timekeeping. The system must provide sufficient pulse power and duration for nonlinear processes while maintaining low noise and fast actuation for stabilization. This market research, under solicitation NIST-AMD-PML-SSN-26-05, will inform a future Firm Fixed Price acquisition. NIST requires new equipment; used, remanufactured, or prototype items are not acceptable. The work is under NAICS 334516 and will take place in Gaithersburg, Maryland. NIST intends to procure the equipment on a Firm Fixed Price basis. Market research submissions must include product specifications, company info, and pricing. This information will help establish technical compliance and influence the final acquisition strategy.
