The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 334516 – Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. The Optical Measurements Group in in the Chemical Sciences Division of the Material Measurement Laboratory (MML) is responsible for spectrometer design and development within the FIRVIR for Climate Metrology IMS project.

Part of that work, the Group requires laser sources at wavelengths from 15 ?m to 100 ?m to test components which will ultimately comprise a working spectro-radiometry calibration and measurement testbed. Thus, to advance the measurement goals of the group, a THz Quantum Cascade Laser system is required.
