Description

We require HDR Streak Cameras that will be provided under the
contract. The aim of the tender activity is to source
two cameras and then once the evaluation has been
completed and the pricing received, for a third to be
purchased at a later date. It does not need to be the
same make and model for both cameras. The
importance lies in functionality and ease-of-use.

A streak camera is an instrument for measuring the
variation in a pulse of light's intensity within a given
time and in this instance will be used to measure the
pulse duration of ultrafast laser systems. It will require
a high dynamic range to enable STFC to improve their
accuracy for measurements and diagnostics.
