NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) has a requirement for a Hydra Harp 400Mainframe Event Timer and Hydra Harp 400 TDC module. Code 554 is in the process ofdeveloping the ATLAS photon counting detector module and it has a requirement that theevent timer meet certain specifications in support of the ICESAT-2 mission. The specsinclude:- Minimum time bin width- 1ps- Electrical time resolution- < 12 ps ms- Full scale range-histogram mode- 65 ns- Full scale range-time tagged mode- infinite- Maximum count rate per input channel-12.5 10 counts/sec- Maximum sync rate- 150 MHz- Sustained throughout time-tagged mode- 9x10^6 events/sec- Dead time-80 ns- Differential non-linearity <2% peak, < 0.2%rms- Count depth per time bins-6553612- Collection time- 1ms to 100 hours- 8 synchronized independent counting channels NASA/GSFC intends to purchase the items from PicoQuant Photonics pursuant to FAR 13.106for the acquisition of supplies or services determine to be reasonably available from onesource.
