Beam Sharing Grating, Linear Diamonds

SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory is operated by Stanford University for the Department of Energy. As a management and operating contractor, subcontracts awarded by the Laboratory are not Federal procurements, and are not directly subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulations in 48 CFR. Nonetheless, certain Federal laws, Executive Orders, and regulations may affect our DOE approved purchasing system, as required by statute, regulation, or contract terms and conditions.

SLAC has a requirement for a U.S. domestic end item source of the following:
 

• Qty:1, Linear diamond gratings, substrate 1 

  
  

  • Two gratings on one substrate with one pitch and two duty cycles:

    
    

    • Pitch: 980 nm

    • Duty cycle grating 1: 30%

    • Duty cycle grating 2: 40%

  • Guaranteed grating depth: 3.5 µm

  • Higher grating depths may be targeted subject to fabrication feasibility and are covered by the optional enhanced depth item below.

  • Each grating has an area of ~2 mm x 1 mm

  • Location according to communicated SLAC design.

  • Orientation of grooves is parallel to 1 mm edge of the grating.

  • Orientation engraving according to communicated SLAC CAD.

  • Substrate Specifications:

    
    

    • Frame Area: ~10 x 10 mm

    • Material: single crystal CVD Diamond plate

    • Chip Thickness: ~100 µm

• Qty: 1, Linear diamond gratings, substrate 2

  
  

  • Two gratings on one substrate with one pitch and two duty cycles:

    
    

    • Pitch: 2000 nm

    • Duty cycle grating 1: 30%

    • Duty cycle grating 2: 40%

  • Guaranteed grating depth: 5 µm

  • Higher grating depths may be targeted subject to fabrication feasibility and are covered by the optional enhanced depth item below.

  • Each grating has an area of ~2 mm x 1 mm

  • Location according to communicated SLAC design.

  • Orientation of grooves is parallel to 1 mm edge of the grating.

  • Orientation engraving according to communicated SLAC CAD.

  • Substrate Specifications:

    
    

    • Frame Area: ~10 x 10 mm

    • Material: single crystal CVD Diamond plate

    • Chip Thickness: ~100 µm

• Option #1: enhanced depth item for substrate 1, 980 nm pitch

• Option #2: enhanced depth item for substrate 2, 2000 nm pitch
