Description



The National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST), Sensor Science Division (SSD) requires an optical spectrum analyzer capable of providing accurate measurement of the wavelength and spectrum of an optical source to meet the research and calibration needs of the Division. Procurement of an optical spectrum analyzer (OSA), which meets the specifications described below, will improve wavelength calibration and stray light evaluation over a wide spectral range from the ultraviolet to the near infrared for a variety of optical sources.



This notice is not a request for a quotation. A solicitation document will not be issued and quotations will not be requested.



This acquisition is being conducted under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) via FAR 13.106-1(b). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing.



NIST-s SSD requires an OSA for wavelength calibration and stray light evaluation in order to meet the research and calibration needs of the Division. Specifically, NIST requires an OSA that: 1) provides accurate measurement of the wavelength and spectrum of an optical source; 2) compatible for optical sources that consist of lamp-based systems and monochromator, are continuous wave (CW), are on the order of 1 μW, and have bandpass of 1.5 nm to 3 nm; 3) allows for free-space coupling optical source to the OSA; 4) has spectral range of 250 nm to 2500 nm and spectral resolution of ≤ 0.01 nm; and 5) wavelength accuracy of ≤ 0.005 nm and traceable to the International System of Units (SI) meter. After thorough evaluation, it has been determined that only Thorlabs can meet NIST-s requirements for the reasons listed below:



Only Thorlabs provides an OSA that meets requirements for spectral range (250 nm to 2500 nm). No other manufacturer produces an OSA with capabilities below 350 nm. Additionally, wavelengths longer than 3...
