## Description

Procurement of Thomson Scattering Laser System for the Material Plasma Exposure Experiment (MPEX) The Material-Plasma Exposure eXperiment (MPEX), a superconducting magnet, steady-state device, is being built at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), herein referred to as "ORNL", to address the harsh conditions inside a fusion reactor.

This device, as designed, will have the unique feature of being able to conduct accelerated lifetime tests of plasma-facing components, including those that have experienced neutron damage.

The supplier shall provide: - A high-energy Nd:YAG laser system, including: - Laser head and housing - Rack-mountable power supply (208V, 1-phase) - Heat exchanger compatible with ORNL’s chilled water utilities - Integration support with the ORNL-MPEX Diagnostic Laser Center - All required technical documentation and factory test reports - Packaging, delivery, installation, and onsite commissioning support
