Summary
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) issued a sources-sought / request for information seeking vendors who can provide a reflective LCOS spatial light modulator system optimized for the 1000–1550 nm wavelength range with a minimum active resolution of 1272×1024, ≥96% optical fill factor, ≥80% optical efficiency at 1550 nm, and support for spatial frequencies up to at least 40 line pairs/mm. NIST requests electronic capability statements that include company profile, product information, and specification sheets, and references a Draft Specifications attachment for technical details. Responses are due 2026-07-16 and the notice is listed as active on the federal contracting site.
