The purpose of this Market Research and Sources Sought Notice is to gain knowledge of potential qualified U.S. Domestic businesses, which could include Small Business, HUBZone, 8(a), Service Disabled Veteran Owned, Women Owned Small Business firms and even Large Businesses. Responses to this Sources Sought Synopsis will be used by the Government in making appropriate acquisition decisions. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR), Earth Systems Research Laboratories (ESRL), Chemical Sciences Laboratory (CSL) is replacing an existing erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) and integrated optical circulator that is installed in a new airborne Doppler lidar system being developed by CSL. The deployment of the airborne Doppler lidar is part of a larger research effort. The CSL requires a pulsed erbium fiber laser (PEFL) amplifier with integrated optical circulator like the Lumibird PEFL-EOLA in order to have drop-in replacements for the current output telescope and scanner interface. INTENDED USE/PURPOSE: The Lumibird PEFL-EOLA is specially designed for Doppler heterodyne LIDAR systems, delivering Fourier transform limited pulses with high energy and high peak power. The laser can emit up to 400 µJ energy and up to 900W peak power with a linear polarization, a very high extinction ratio in between two pulses, a long coherence length, and an excellent output beam quality. It is ideal for wind measurement applications such as turbine mounted lidar, windfarm optimization, and wind hazard and wake vortices monitoring. This is the only known instrument that can meet the Government’s needs, and this notice’s intent is to identify any other products that meet the full requirements listed below.
