NIST seeks sole source tunable laser controller for quantum measurement.
Some language patterns suggest this RFP may be written for a specific incumbent vendor. Review qualification requirements and brand-specific terms carefully before committing bid resources.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to award a sole source contract for a tunable laser controller. The controller must be compatible with existing Toptica DLC pro laser controllers and Toptica lasers used in NIST's Quantum Measurement Division. The required specifications include a tunable laser controller with a 100 kHz linewidth, 780 nm wavelength, and 1 mW output power. This is a sources sought notice to identify potential vendors capable of meeting these requirements. Interested parties must respond by the deadline to be considered.
