44985-2a-RFP - Dual-output optical parametric amplifier

Description: The University of Ottawa issued this formal RFP to procure a dual-output optical parametric amplifier, funded by the Canada Foundation for Innovation and the Ontario Research Fund, for a project establishing Canada's first two-dimensional infrared (2D-IR) spectrometer. The equipment must provide two independently tunable outputs from a common white-light continuum seed, operate with the University's Spectra-Physics Solstice Ace ultrafast laser, and support tunable mid-infrared plus visible/ultraviolet excitation wavelengths. Proposals are submitted electronically through MERX with separate technical/qualitative and pricing attachments, and the requirements include installation, training, one-year warranty and support, and Canadian electrical-safety certification or an accepted equivalent.
