Diode-Pumped Frequency-Doubled Laser

The National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) is conducting market research to identify U.S.-based firms—large and small—that can supply a diode‑pumped, frequency‑doubled Nd:YVO4 laser meeting the detailed specifications attached to this Sources‑Sought notice (NAICS 334513, small‑business size standard 750 employees). NIST seeks capability statements (≤ 4 pages) that identify the supplying and manufacturing companies, the country of manufacture, product data sheets, typical lead time, warranty, and any other relevant information; sales brochures are not acceptable. The laser must be a solid‑state, dual 40 W diode‑array pumped Nd:Vanadate system delivering > 18 W continuous at 532 nm (intracavity LBO doubling), with hermetically sealed head, fiber‑optic connection, single‑longitudinal‑mode TEM₀₀ output (2.25 mm, < 0.5 mrad divergence, M² ≤ 1.1), pointing stability 3 µrad/°C, frequency stability 5 MHz over 50 ms, amplitude noise ≤ 0.05 rms (10 Hz‑1 GHz), power stability drift ≤ 1 % over ≥ 2 h, vertical polarization 100:1 extinction, warm‑up ≤ 20 min, 110 VAC/20 A power, ≥ 1‑year warranty, ≥ 10 000 h continuous operation without diode‑bar replacement, and size limits of 18.3 × 5.5 × 5.5 in (laser head) and 18 × 20 × 12 in (power supply). Responses must be emailed to Contracting Officer Angela Hitt (angela.hitt@nist.gov) no later than 14:00 ET on 1 May 2026; no quotes will be considered.
