66--5 Watt Diode Pumped Laser

The Naval Air Warfare Center, Weapons Division, China Lake, CA intends to procure on an other than full and open competition basis the following items: 1 each continuous wave, cooled laser, emitting at 532 nm, part number, Verdi V5. This requirement is sole sourced to Coherent, Inc., 5100 Patrick Henry Dr., Santa Clara, CA 95054, based on the laser system will be used for Brillouin spectroscopy which requires a laser line width of less than 5 MHz (alternatively stated, less than 0.005 cm-1). The product specified above is the only known source (unique to Coherent) for a diode pumped solid state laser with both high output power and very low line width. Any firms believing that they can provide the continuous wave, cooled laser, emitting at 532 nm, part number, Verdi V5, may submit a written response to be received at the Contracting Office no later than 5 days after the date of publication of this notice. It must clearly show the firm's ability to be responsive w! ithout compromising the quality, accuracy or reliability of the data without causing programmatic hardship.
