*THIS RFQ WILL BE EVALUATED BASED ON LOWEST PRICE, TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE METHODOLOGY*
Looking to source the following equipment:
Diode Laser Driver
A picosecond-pulse diode laser driver with the following specifications:
Operation modes: Pulsed or continuous wave (CW)
Wavelength range: 266 nm to 1990 nm
Pulse duration: As short as 40 ps FWHM with picosecond precision
Repetition rates: 2.5 kHz to 80 MHz, selectable from base frequencies of 80 MHz or 1 MHz, divided by 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32
Jitter: Typical 3–5 ps, enabling sub‑picosecond timing stability
Triggering: External TTL trigger input (5 V, adjustable level), sync output for synchronizing with other instruments, and dual gating inputs (slow and fast) for time‑resolved control
Power supply: 110/120 VAC or 220/240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, max 45 W
Dimensions: 237 × 310 × 97 mm
Laser Head
A picosecond‑pulse and cw‑capable laser head with the following specifications:
Wavelength: 375 nm (±10 nm)
Pulse width:
Repetition rate: Up to 40 MHz
Average optical power: 5 mW (typical)
CW power: 40 mW
Peak power: Up to 1 W
Beam divergence: ~0.0063° (parallel)
Numerical aperture: 0.55
Polarization: Horizontal, extinction ratio >10
Operation modes: Pulsed, burst, continuous wave (CW)
Cooling: Thermoelectric (TE) cooled
Optional: Fiber coupling (single-mode, multi-mode, polarization-maintaining)
Please review all applicable documentation and provide a proposal response no later than 5:00 PM CST August 25, 2026.
Within your proposal, please include a fully executed copy of the ANL-70 Request for Quotation and the ANL-70A Reps & Certs.
