  Title: Wavelength Swept Light Source for Photonic Thermometry
  BACKGROUND
  The Fundamental Thermodynamics group at the Sensor Science Division is conducting Standard Photonic Thermometer (SPoT) project. The main focus of the project is to develop the next-generation chip-scale photonic temperature metrology that can replace Standard Platinum Resistance Thermometers (SPRTs), reduce the temperature calibration chain and sensor ownership cost.
  The SPoT project, pursued by The Fundamental Thermodynamics group, is a multi-year/multi-million effort funded by both NIST-on-a-Chip (NOAC) and the United States Air Force. The timely achieving project-s milestones is NIST-mission-critical task and is one of the priorities of the Physical Measurement Laboratory (PML).
  One of the essential milestones of Standard Photonic Thermometer is to develop cost-efficient and deployable photonic readout systems. To achieve these essential for the project milestones, the Fundamental Thermodynamics group has a critical need for one (1) high-speed swept laser. This instrument is essential for enabling scalable and practical solutions for next-generation temperature metrology.
  The swept laser is mission-critical component in developing photonic readout for SPoT project. Delaying or not approving this procurement would directly hinder progress toward key milestones of the Air Force-funded project Photonic Thermometry for SPRT Replacement. Without the requested instrumentation, we risk catastrophic disruptions to ongoing work on the project, potential funding setbacks, and compromised deliverables. To ensure uninterrupted workflow and mitigate these risks, the procurement of high-speed swept laser is an absolute necessity.
  Minimum requirements:
  NIST requires one (1) high-speed swept laser. The laser provide modulation output light centered at 1550 nm, with sweep frequency 150 Hz or more, tunable sweep range from...
