Tunable Laser

A tunable laser is being procured with a wavelength range from 1480 to 1640 nanometers, ensuring continuous-wave and mode-hop-free operation throughout the entire spectrum. The laser must maintain a linewidth under 200 kHz and achieve a wavelength setting resolution of 0.1 picometers or better, with accuracy within �15 picometers in both step mode and continuous sweep operation, and stability within �5 picometers under normal operating conditions. It must deliver a minimum output power of 7 dBm across the tuning range and support fast wavelength sweeps from 1 to 200 nanometers per second with programmable control, plus fine tuning over at least 10 GHz. The output is fiber-coupled with polarization-maintaining compatibility for standard single-mode fiber systems. Remote operation is required via USB, GPIB, and Ethernet interfaces. This procurement is issued under solicitation W911S226U3380 as a total small business set-aside with NAICS code 334516 by the U.S. Army’s Office at Fort Drum, New York, with responses due by June 12, 2026, and directed by point of contact Brian Holloway.
