The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12 and the Simplified Acquisition Procedures set forth in FAR Part 13. This notice is being issued as a Request For Quotation (RFQ) for: Item 1, One (1) 10KHz Dual Head Laser System including installation and shipping in accordance with the following specifications. 1. Laser system shall produce two laser pulses of equal energy from 100 Hz to 10 KHz. 2. Laser shall incorporate a dual head design, such that each laser head can be independently triggered. The delay adjustment between laser head outputs is continuously adjustable from 0 to ? of the laser repetition rate with at least 0.5 nanosecond accuracy. Both laser oscillator heads and all beam combining, wavelength separation optics shall be contained in a single laser housing with dimensions specified below. 3. Laser shall produce output beam at 532 nm wavelength. 4. Pulse energy from each laser head shall be at least 6 mJ at 10 KHz operation. 5. Output power stability shall be no more than 4% rms at 10 KHz operating point. 6. Laser shall be capable of operating from 100 Hz up to 20 KHz, output energies will be lower than the nominal value at 10 KHz. 7. Average laser power shall be at least 60W at 10 KHz from each laser head. 8. Output from the laser heads shall be orthogonally polarized, and have a polarization ratio of at least 100:1. 9. Laser shall operate via either internal trigger, or via an externally supplied TTL level trigger signal. A single TTL trigger pulse shall be required for each laser head to initiate the Q-Switch operation. 10. Timing jitter from receipt of external laser trigger to laser emission shall not exceed 15 nanoseconds. 11. Output from the dual oscillators shall be combined into a single coaxial beam, exiting the laser housing through a single port. At least 99% of the 1064 nm light shall be removed from the exit beam (only 532 nm output). 12. Laser shall be capable of being controlled remotely via either a USB, Firewire or RS-232 port interface to a computer. Software capable of running on the Windows 2000 operating system shall be provided for controlling the laser operation via an interface port. Laser Control software shall permit the setting of laser output power, repetition rate, and output shutter. 13. Laser shall be equipped with an exit port shutter to block laser emission. This laser shutter is closed when the laser interlock is activated. 14. Laser shall be equipped with a high speed exit shutter, which has a maximum open/close time of 20 ms. 15. Laser power requirements shall not exceed 208, 3-phase 50 Amp, 60 Hz service. 16. Laser shall require external water cooling. Water cooling flow rate requirement shall not exceed 6 gpm at 100 psi. 17.
