Description

Auto-translated from French

The "quantum tests with hydrogen" team wishes to acquire a modern metrological optical frequency comb type femtosecond pulsed laser. This femtosecond pulsed laser must be phase-locked to the ultrastable optical reference of the REFIMEVE network at 1542 nm. This laser will then be used to lock the frequencies of our lasers at 1064 nm and 894 nm and thus determine the frequencies of these lasers. It is a key piece of equipment that will be used for at least 10 years; therefore, the reliability of the equipment, the duration of the warranty, and the guarantee of spare parts availability over the usage period (10 years) will be an important factor in the choice of the offer. A plus would also be if the laser control software is not dependent on the computer's operating system, such as Windows. Control of the laser by a Python code launched by a LINUX type computer would be a plus. The minimum technical and functional performance expected of the equipment is specified in the consultation documents.
