Femtosecond laser system with two synchronized outputs

The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, under the U.S. Department of Energy, is seeking a femtosecond laser system with two synchronized outputs to support advanced remote sensing research. The system must enable femtosecond laser filamentation for applications including isotope sensing through remote plasma generation, air-lasing techniques using dual-color synchronized beams, spatially and temporally shaped free-standing plasma channels for electromagnetic spectrum manipulation, and high-energy beam studies of filament-filament interactions. The procurement is designed to accommodate multiple experimental configurations requiring precise temporal and spatial control of ultrafast laser pulses and their synchronized pair. The solicitation, identified as BZ-2026-05, was posted on July 31, 2026, with responses due by August 10, 2026, and is classified as a sources-sought notice under NAICS code 334510. There is no set-aside designation, and all interested parties may respond. The performance location is Berkeley, California, and inquiries should be directed to Brian Zatkow at the provided contact information. The full technical requirements and submission instructions are detailed in the attached RFI document.
