The National Research Council Canada (NRC) is seeking to procure an integrated suite of automated photonic processing equipment (ISAPPE) to enhance the capabilities of the Canadian Photonics Fabrication Centre (CPFC). The procurement includes five key systems: a Laser Diode Cleaving or Breaking System, a Diamond Scribing System, a Laser Diode Bar Testing System, a Laser Diode Unstacking and Optical Inspection System, and a Laser Diode Bar Stacking system. This equipment is critical to addressing the current gap in high-resolution optical inspection capabilities at the CPFC, ensuring that all components are thoroughly inspected and accurately sorted before delivery. The ISAPPE will offer advanced visual inspection through high-resolution optical imaging along with automated functions such as sample removal and preparation, pick-and-place operations, full electro-optical characterization, and automatic pattern recognition for singulation during the scribing and breaking processes. Additionally, it will provide automatic alignment and cleaving of components to improve precision and throughput. The system’s delivery is scheduled within 180 days following contract award. The solicitation, issued by the NRC under solicitation number 25-58274, is open with a response deadline of February 14, 2026, and the point of contact for this procurement is Grice El-Hayek. The equipment will be installed in Ottawa, Canada.

The National Research Council Canada (NRC) has a requirement for the procurement of an integrated suite of automated photonic processing equipment (ISAPPE) with the following: - One (1) Laser Diode Cleaving or Breaking System - One (1) Diamond Scribing System - One (1) Laser Diode Bar Testing System - One (1) Laser Diode Unstacking and Optical Inspection System - One (1) Laser Diode Bar Stacking The Canadian photonics Fabrication Centre (CPFC) currently lacks adequate visual inspection capabilities. Success of the CPFC requires the confidence that any component manufactured and delivered has been visually inspected via high resolution optical imaging, and that good and bad components are sorted prior to delivery. The ISAPPE will provide detailed optical inspections capability, sample removal, preparation, pick and placement capability, full electro-optical characterization, automatic pattern/structure recognition for component singulation for scribe and break process and automatically align and cleave capabilities. The system is to be delivered 180 days after contract award.
