The readout pixel array must be in a high resolution XGA format with 1,024 X 768 pixels without inter-pixel boundary over 20mm X 20mm readout aperture; 2. All pixels must be independently programmable by PC for a minimum of 2 pi phase modulation with 8 bit for X8267-5080 for wavelengths between 500 and 800nm, all in reflective readout mode; 3. The overall or net readout reflectivities or throughputs for X8267-5080 shall be better than 90% for all of the individual pixels in the specified wavelength range; 4. The reflected wavefront distortion must be less than lambda/4 at 633 nm. Delivery shall be FOB Destination. FOB Destination means the contractor shall pack and mark the shipment in conformance with carrier requirements, deliver the shipment in good order and condition to the point of delivery specified in the purchase order, be responsible for loss of and/or damage to the goods occurring before receipt and acceptance of the shipment by the consignee at the delivery point specified in the purchase order; and pay all charges to the specified point of delivery.
