NIST seeks a tunable narrowband mid-IR laser for research.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) seeks to purchase a narrowband mid-IR laser system with tunable wavelength and repetition rate for research applications. The laser must cover the 2.5-10 μm range with <1 cm⁻¹ linewidth, provide pulse energies >1 μJ at 100 kHz, and include a computer interface for control. No specific certifications or set-asides are mentioned; the requirement appears generic for a specialized scientific instrument. The contract value is unknown, and the performance location is Gaithersburg, Maryland.
