- Description
- This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This notice is being issued as an RFQ Request for Quote for: DESCRIPTION: Cooled 1Kx1K CCD Scientific Imaging Camera System for Quantum Entaglement Imaging. CCD camera system will utilize a -80 C TEC CCD element, digitized at 16 bits resolution, at a ADC rate of 1 MHz, connected to PC using USB 2.0 interface. System includes camera controller and software. Camera will have Nikon F-mount lens interface with integral leaf shutter. TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS: Camera system shall have at least 1024 x 1024 pixel resolution with backside illuminated detector element for maximum quantum efficiency (QE); Pixels shall be no smaller than 12 microns square with a 100% fill factor; QE of detector shall not be less than 90% from 500 nm to 700 nm; QE shall not be less than 55% from 400 nm to 500 nm; QE shall not be less than 70% from 700 nm to 800 nm; Vacuum seal on CCD element shall be guaranteed to be sealed for the lifetime of the device without requiring constant re-evacuation (this is important consideration for ease of use and lower total cost of ownnership); digital information from CCD to camera controlle shall be no less than 16 bits resolution with a data rate no slower than 1 MHz; read noise at 1 MHz shall not be greater than 10 photoelectrons; single pixel full-well depth shall not be less than 100,000 photoelectrons; dark current shall not be greater than 0.003 photoelectrons per second at -70 C operating temperature; thermostating precision of TEC shall be no worse than +/- 0.05 C across operating temperature range; camera will be interfaced to user supplied PC via USB 2.0 interface (this is important for usability with any user PC); Camera system shall be controllable through software operated in Windows environment and through provided National Instruments LabView VI's; Camera will have a Nikon compatible F-mount and an integrated electronically controlled leaf shutter; All aspects of camera operation can be controlled from software; Camera system will be air-cooled and not require liquid cooling. 1.) CCD Camera System VersaArray XP:1KB/TE. Princeton Instruments VersaArrayXP:1KB Digital CCD Camera System. 13 micron square pixels, backside illuminated, optimized for max QE with "Midband" response.
