Background: Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) - Valcartier would like to acquire two (2) high voltage (HV) Tesla coils for laser guiding of high voltage discharges.

Laser guiding of HV discharges is a new issue for security and defence. Laser filament produces by ultrafast laser pulse has recently made possible the precise guiding of high voltage discharges. As part of our project, laser guiding of HV will be done using synchronized Tesla coils. To obtain good laser guiding of the HV discharges, the HV burst from the Tesla coil must be powerful enough and synchronized with an external trigger. The synchronized Tesla coils will be incorporated into an existing ultrafast laser system.

The HV Tesla coils must be triggered by an external fiber optic trigger. Both the number of HV burst per second and the HV burst pulsewidth must be adjustable via the fiber optics interface. The jitter between the beginning of the HV burst generated by the Tesla coils and the optical signal in the fiber should be less than 500 ns. The HV Tesla coils should be powered by a 208-240VAC, 20A, 1 phase at 60 Hz electric source with L6-30 connector. For more details, please refer to the technical specifications and components required in this Request For Proposal.
