High-Power Semiconductor Laser Diodes

Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC (LLNS) has issued this Sources Sought notice, solicitation number B676528, to identify capable sources for commercially available off-the-shelf high-power semiconductor laser diode products. The requirement supports the Department of Energy at the contractor’s Livermore, California, location. LLNS is seeking contractors with demonstrated expertise in manufacturing diode bars, diode stacks, and related assemblies used for optical pumping in scientific or precision laser systems. The primary purpose of this procurement is to evaluate products for potential use in a laser amplifier application, specifically targeting components suitable for demanding optical environments rather than general-purpose electronic or consumer devices.

Responses to this notice should provide detailed information regarding standard product configurations, performance capabilities, packaging and cooling methodologies, expected operating life, and estimated lead times. LLNS may provide additional information to contractors who possess an active Directorate of Defense Trade Controls registration. This market research effort is classified under NAICS 334413 for Semiconductor and Related Device Manufacturing and PSC 5961 for Semiconductor Devices and Associated Hardware. Interested parties must submit their qualification and capability statements via email to the designated point of contact, William Wong, by the response deadline of June 27, 2026.
