Supply, Delivery and Commissioning of a Cavity Ringdown Measurement System

Tender description

The Contracting Authority seeks notes of interest for a potential procurement exercise for the provision of a system capable of measuring the reflectivity and optical loss of highly reflective optics. The Contracting Authority seeks a solution that can confirm to the non-exhaustive requirements listed below: The system will be capable of measuring a minimum reflectivity of 99.999%, tat is optical power losses of 10 ppm. The system will be provided along with a set of well characterised reference optics of known reflectivity for calibration. The system must be capable of measuring the optical losses of 0.5” and 1” diameter test optics at normal incidence as well as 5-45 AOI. The Contracting Authority requires the system's test optics be easily interchangeable. The system should be capable of characterising reflectivity at wavelengths of 1064nm, 1550nm and 2000nm with the relevant light source(s) included within the system. The system requires the ability to measure at other wavelengths either initially or as a retrofittable upgrade. The successful supplier's offer will include the delivery of the solution to the University of Strathclyde's confirmed location in the Tender documents. Potential tenderers who believe they can fulfill the above noted requirement are asked to note their interest against this notice by the the 13th of September 2021. Potential tenderers are asked to review the high level requirement provided within this PIN and note their interest against the notice by the closing date of 12 noon on the 13th of September.
