Titanium-Sapphire Pumped Optical Parametric Amplifier

The National Research Council of Canada is seeking a Titanium-Sapphire pumped Optical Parametric Oscillator System to enhance its capabilities in quantum and nonlinear optics research. The system must deliver tunable femtosecond output and be fully compatible with the existing Coherent Chameleon femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser as well as an already operational OPO. This integration requirement ensures seamless operation within the current experimental setup without requiring modifications to existing infrastructure. The procurement emphasizes technical compatibility, performance consistency, and reliability for high-precision scientific applications. The solicitation, identified as 26-58068, was posted on June 18, 2026, with responses due by July 3, 2026. The contract is issued by the Government of Canada through the National Research Council of Canada and is open to all eligible suppliers without set-aside restrictions. All deliverables are to be performed within Canada, and inquiries should be directed to Tamara Stabb, the Contracting Authority, via phone or email. The tender opportunity can be accessed through the CanadaBuys platform for full details and submission guidelines.
