This acquisition is a Notice of Intent (NOI). The solicitation documents and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC)2005-95 dated 1/13/2017. The North American Industry Classification System code for this procurement is 334516 with a small business size standard of 1000. This requirement is not set aside for small business.
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), is seeking to purchase
an Insight X3 Dual Tunable Femtosecond laser with the following options.
Third generation broadly tunable femtosecond laser with DeepSee
dispersion compensation and dual wavelength output
InSight X3 Dual features an unprecedented 680 nm to 1300 nm continuous
tuning from a sole source, short 100 fs pulse widths and
the highest peak power levels in the infrared wavelengths where imaging
penetration depth is maximized.
> 1.0 W @ 700 nm
> 2.0 W @ 900 nm
> 1.8 W @ 1000 nm
> 1.6 W @ 1100 nm
> 1.4 W @ 1200 nm
> 1.0 W @ 1300 nm
> 2.0 W @ 1045 nm (Dual Beam)
Spectra-Physics' integrated patented DeepSee, the industry standard
dispersion pre-compensator, delivers the short pulses through a
microscope to the sample for maximum fluorescence.
This fully automated ultrafast laser can be seamlessly tuned with the
click of a mouse to any wavelength within seconds at speeds
over 50 nm/sec.
Includes the 1045nm Dual wavelength option for dual color imaging, CARS
and SRS
Includes rack mountable power supply, chiller, and rack accessory.
MAITAI EHPDS
Completely automated, one-box, mode-locked Ti: Sapphire laser source with automated
DeepSee dispersion compensation.
Key features:
• Wide Tuning Range: 690-1040 nm
