Wavelength Meter

The contract involves the procurement of a Wavelength Meter, specifically the FZW Fizeau Laser Wavemeter or an equivalent device, designed for precise wavelength measurement across a broad spectrum from 350 to 1120 nanometers, with an optional extension up to 1280 nanometers. The device is self-contained, featuring a color display and capable of performing measurements and calculations internally, eliminating the need for an external computer. It offers high accuracy with an absolute accuracy of 600 MHz (3%) within the specified range and typically achieves a resolution of 10 MHz, with faster full-speed sampling and an average of 1 MHz. The instrument is equipped with Ethernet and USB interfaces for seamless integration into existing control systems, supported by drivers compatible with LabVIEW, MATLAB, and Python, and includes features such as external triggering, wide bandwidth mode for pulsed lasers, and a simple one-button recalibration procedure utilizing an external reference source to compensate for long-term drift. The solicitation, issued by the Department of the Army’s Fort Drum office in West Point, NY, is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 334610, emphasizing procurement from small businesses. The posting date is January 29, 2025, with responses due by February 18, 2025. The contract aims to acquire a reliable, easy-to-integrate wavelength measurement solution suitable for laser applications, with contact points provided for further inquiries.
