Notice Title
UKRI-1119 PS OPCPA Pump Laser
Notice Description
UKRI, the contracting authority, wishes to purchase a minimum of one laser system that will be used as the pump for a picosecond OPCPA pre-amplifier that will provide amplified pulses with an energy of up to 2mJ, as part of the EPAC Project. The minimum scope of the contract is for the supply of one laser system, with the ability to purchase up to an additional two laser systems at a later date.
Lot Information
Lot 1
The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), a component Research Council of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), is a world-leading multi-disciplinary science organisation, whose goal is to deliver economic, societal, scientific and international benefits to the UK and its people -- and more broadly to the world. Building work is currently underway at UKRI's Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) site for the EPAC (Extreme Photonics and Applications Centre) facility. EPAC will be applied to short pulse high power applications with its 10 Hertz Petawatt Laser. This will provide a step-change in capabilities for laser-driven accelerator research in the UK, enabling a plasma wakefield accelerator facility with multi-GeV electron beams and spatially coherent X-ray and gamma-ray beams for cutting edge experiments in plasma physics, laboratory astrophysics and condensed matter and material science. EPAC will bring together world-leading interdisciplinary expertise to develop and apply novel, laser based, non-conventional accelerators and particle sources which have unique properties. UKRI, the contracting authority, wishes to purchase a minimum of one laser system that will be used as the pump for a picosecond OPCPA pre-amplifier that will provide amplified pulses with an energy of up to 2mJ, as part of the EPAC Project.

Options: The minimum scope of the contract is for oneamplifier for use in a high energy laser amplifier system as part of the Extreme Photonics Applications Centre (EPAC) Project, to the specifications detailed. Options are included for the ability to purchase up to an additional two laser diode pump systems at a later date. The estimated value for one laser diode pump system is GBP 260,000.00 - 300,000.00 ex-VAT for the initial purchase. Including the options for up to an additional two laser diode pump systems, the total estimated value of the opportunity is GBP 1,200,000.00 ex-VAT.
