Warranty The warranty will cover complete repair of an amplifier that has been damaged through all processes except operator error. Operator error would include running the amplifier without a seed, running the amplifier with a seed having too narrow of a linewidth resulting in an SBS event, and running the amplifier at power levels beyond 1 kW. The warranty must be for a year. 7. Functional Test Review Contractor must demonstrate for a government representative, the following: a. Polarization Extinction Ratio (PER) of 17, 2. Operation, with a seed having a minimum linewidth of 10 GHz at output powers between 1 and 5 mW, at 1 kW for a period of 1 hour, 3. Power stability of +/- 2% for a period of 1 hour at 1 kW, 500 W, and 100 W, and 4. Beam quality of < 1.2 and operation in the LP01 mode for a period of 1 hour at 1 kW, 500 W, and 100 W. b. The government representative will make one trip to the contractor facility for the Functional Test Review. Because of this, the delivery of the three amplifiers will need to occur at the same time.
