> further biomedical research. Assessments will also provide
> fundamental data about the quality characteristics of the sequence

> interpreting the sequence data and using it to design further
> experiments and improved analyses. As a secondary goal, the QAC

> Theoretical Modeling of Neodynium-Doped Optical Fibers 1-168-RDH.1027
> which was posted on December 7, 1999.
> You are notified that the following changes are made:
> The description is hereby changed to read: NASA/LaRC plans to issue a
> Request for Quote (RFQ) for a two phase R&D effort. Phase I will cover
> theoretical modeling of neodynium (Nd) doped optical fibers to achieve
> high Nd doping concentration and a gain peak near 944 nm, and
> comparison of the modeling to experimental results. Phase II (Option 1)
> will consist of further theoretical modeling of the fiber material and
> modeling to optimize fibers for use in high power CW and Q-switched
> narrow linewidth, tunable fiber lasers and amplifiers. NASA LaRC plans
> to issue a competitive solicitation for Phase I and then will
> negotiate with the successful offeror on a sole source basis for Phase
> II-after the results of Phase I are known. Documents related to this
> procurement are available over the Internet and are in Microsoft Office
