TUNABLE HIGH-POWERED CW LASER SYSTEM

Since 1848 the University of Ottawa has been Canada’s university and the largest bilingual university in Canada.  At the University of Ottawa, we understand our past and our desired future. The University of Ottawa is a major player in the cultural and economic development of the National Capital Region.

The University of Ottawa is one of Canada's leading research-intensive University. The University of Ottawa fosters excellence and success in research, whether the research is basic or applied, of intrinsic value or of commercial importance. The University of Ottawa considers itself to be Canada's university of the 21st Century by launching new initiatives in emerging areas, promoting collaboration within and across faculties, and providing the milieu in which creativity can flourish.

Further information regarding the University of Ottawa can be found on the Web site http://www.uottawa.ca/ 

We hereby invite your company (proponent) to partner with the University of Ottawa in this great project funded by the Canada Foundation for Innovation and the Ontario Research Fund by submitting an offer to this Request for Proposals and by including an in-kind contribution.

Please find attached the Request for Proposals documentation with specifications and the CFI guidelines pricing format to be completed and returned with your proposal.
 

1. 1. - Statement of Requirements
      1. The Unversity of Ottawa is pleased to invite qualified proponents to submit a proposal for a tunable continuous-wave (CW) laser(s) providing multi-watt power at wavelengths including 1064 nm, 1480 nm, and 1550 nm, to support research activities at the University of Ottawa’s SUNLAB, relating to photonic device characterization. Tunability is required to characterise devices over a broad wavelength range. A high average power is required to characterise them under realistic utilisation conditions.

                General Description:

The tunable CW laser(s) must have:
Minimum wavelength range of 1040-1070 nm and 1430-1600 nm
Minimum output power of 1 W at 1064 nm and 2 W at 1480 and 1550 nm
Tuning resolution and accuracy < 2 nm
Calibrated motorized tuning across wavelength range(s)
Linear polarization

Specifications listed in Appendix A – Technical Specifications Compliance Form of this RFP are the mandatory minimum requirements for the ECD-X SHG enhancement cavity.
 

1. 1. 2. Should any equipment included in a proposal be superseded by a newer model during the period between the award of contract and the delivery date, the successful Proponent will be required to inform the University of Ottawa of the new specifications, the newer model pricing will remain the same as what was offered in the RFP. At its sole discretion, the University of Ottawa may opt to make changes from the list of equipment by altering, adding, or deducting some equipment.
