BACKGROUND
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is conducting market research to identify alternative sources that (a) are capable of meeting NIST-s minimum requirements for the following commercial products and commercial services and (b) would be interested in competing for that requirement:
As part of its mandate to maintain and develop standards for absorbed dose of ionizing radiation, the NIST, Physical Measurement Laboratory (PML), Radiation Physics Division, Dosimetry Group has undertaken projects for realizing the gray (the SI unit of absorbed dose, abbreviated Gy) in materials and under conditions that support needs in various medical and industrial uses of radiation. To meet emerging needs in absolute dosimetry for radiotherapy, sterilization of surfaces and quality assurance in semiconductor manufacturing, the Dosimetry Group is pursuing projects for imaging dose fields in water and within silicon with high spatial resolution. For this work, specialized instrumentation capabilities - such as GHz lock-in detection, GS/s phase and spectral analysis, Pound-Drever-Hall wavelength locking, frequency-comb generation, GHz streaming to host computer, and customizable signal generation and analysis - deployed through multiple channels and sensor arrays are critically necessary to develop proof-of-concept laboratory prototypes. To support projects in the Dosimetry Group for developing measurement standards to realize the gray (Gy) in water using thermistor probes and imaging modalities such as ultrasound, and for industrial low-energy electron beams using photonic sensors, the Dosimetry Group requires an FPGA-based GHz Multi-instrument.
See attached for list of required minimum technical specifications.
