AI Contract Overview
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.

Full Description
The Laser Technologies Group at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory intends to procure a laser system that will enable remote sensing measurements through femtosecond laser filamentation. Specifically, the group is looking for a laser system that enables the following funded remote sensing experiments and research: femtosecond beam propagation and remote plasma generation for isotope sensing; air-lasing schemes leveraging novel two-color synchronized beams; spatiotemporally shaped; free-standing plasma channels in air for manipulation and reflection of different portions of the electromagnetic spectrum; and high-energy beams to study filament–filament interactions.
This suite of remote sensing research problems described above utilizes different facets of femtosecond laser filamentation and involves two appropriately synchronized beams. Please see the attached RFI document for desired specifications and response instructions.
