Spatial Light Modulator (Resolicitation)

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for services prepared in accordance with the format in FAR 37.110, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. (ii) Solicitation F2KBAD2272A002 is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ). (iii) This solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-62, Effective 20 December 2012. (iv) This procurement is being issued as unrestricted and full and open under NAICS code 333314, Optical Instrument and Lens Manufacturing. CLIN 0001 - XY Phase, Dielectric Mirror Coating, High Speed Liquid Crystal Spatial Light Modulator (SLM) System -Minimum Size: 512 x 512 pixels -Maximum Pixel Size: 15 microns X 15 microns with a minimum inactive space between pixels. -Addressing: Minimum of 250 addressable phase levels -Frame Rate: A minimum of 40 Hz frame rate -Minimum Phase Shift (for all pixels): 2? -Diffraction Efficiency to 90% or greater -Center wavelength ~ 780 nm with required operating range from 720-900 nm -Broadband anti-reflection coated to < 1% over the range 600 nm to 1100 nm -Maximum loss fraction of incident light: 40% over wavelength range -Minimum software requirements: -Fully controllable via C and/or Python libraries. -Standalone graphical user interface to control the device and manipulate phase images -The device must be capable of operating in a mode that does not require an external hardware trigger, but rather a software triggered mode. CLIN 0002 - Hardware trigger: A set of images (at least 50 images must be possible) must be accepted into some sort of queue (hardware, software, or combination thereof). Device must accept a TTL-level signal (such as the rising edge of a TTL pulse). When the device is configured for hardware trigger mode, each trigger signal must cause the device to load a new image taken from the next item in the image queue. The new image must be loaded within 10% of one cycle of the SLM update time. The following questions were received and answered in the previous solicitation: 1: What type of trigger signal would you like to input? A: TTL Level. 2: What is the desired pulse width for the input pulse? A: At least as small as half the crystal refresh time. 3: What is the deisired Frequency of the input pulse? A: On the Order of the refresh rate. 4: Verify that the goal is to have an SLM that updates the image each time a pulse is received by the hardware trigger, and holds that image until another pulse is received. A: Yes, that is correct. The following provisions and clauses apply to this procurement: In accordance with the FAR 13.106-1(a)(2) offerors are notified that award will be made to the lowest price technically acceptable offeror.
