Description
The School of Engineering and Physics at Aston University is looking to procure one (1) x femtosecond laser system to replace an old Ti:Sapphire regenerative amplifier laser.
The equipment must:
- be able to produce laser pulses comparable to or better than the current femtosecond laser source which is of 1kHz repetition rate, central wavelength of 800nm , pulse duration <150fs , pulse energy of ~1mJ, M^2 <1.2 , beam diameter of 5mm.
-be able to produce stable laser pulses with root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) <0.5% for pulse to pulse energy within an appreciable long time span ( > 2 hours).
-have user friendly control panel or interface.
The aim of the procurement is to establish a 4 year contract for the initial supply & installation and also an extended warranty, service and maintenance package.
The full project specific requirements and equipment specification can be found within the project question set on Aston University's e-tendering portal ProContract under Section 9 - Project Specific Requirements.
