66 -- PHOTOMETER FOURIER OPTICS SYSTEM SOL DAAL01-96-R-9835 DUE 081796 POC Reginald Godwin, Contract Specialist, (301) 394-3148, Kathleen M. Tennant, Contracting Officer, (301) 394-3439. The Contractor shall provide and install one (1) Photometer Fourier Optics System that will provide state-of-the-art capabilities in the analysis of luminance and contrast as a function of viewing angle and area for the Army Research Laboratory at Adelphi, Maryland. A key feature of the system is the use of fourier optics to measure the angular dependence of the light rather than moving the photometer; this allows significantly higher measurement speed. The system will be utilized in applications from basic research on materials to device quality control. The system shall provide the ability to measure the luminance, and contrast of the flat panel display devices. It will include an X-Y-Z stage to position and focus the instrument on the display devices. It will include software for standalone operation and software for external control so the system can be integrated into other test methodologies. The contractor shall install equipment at Adelphi, MD and shall, using said equipment, demonstrate that the unit meets manufacturers stated specifications. The contractor shall also provide an industry standard warranty that will include parts, labor, and shipping, for at least one year from the date of acceptance of the full system.
