Description

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking information from sources that may be capable of providing a Mechanically Cooled EUV Cryogenic Radiometer Comparator System. If no alternate sources are identified, the Government intends to issue a Sole Source Award to L-1 Standards and Technology, Inc. (UEI: E219UNZLCLK3) under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, with a small business size standard of 1, 000 employees.



The NIST Optical Radiation Group requires an instrument for the measurement of optical power between 1 nW and 500 µW in the 2 nm to 400 nm wavelength range. Since this instrument will serve as the primary standard detector for the EUV Detector calibration service, it must not rely on calibration against other optical power detectors, i.e. it must be an absolute detector of optical power. Within the radiometry community, cryogenic radiometry is widely recognized as the best technology for these absolute measurements at low incident powers.



Traditionally, cryogenic radiometers have been cooled by liquid helium, the cost of which has risen dramatically over the last decade. Such systems are inherently difficult to use, and they present safety issues related to the very cold temperature of the liquid helium. A cryogenic radiometer cooled by a mechanical cryocooler is considerably easier and safer to use, and the cost of ownership is dramatically lower than a liquid-helium cooled system.



The cryogenic radiometer will be used to calibrate the spectral responsivity of a family of NIST-s standard photodiodes. These calibration measurements require a comparison of the photocurrent produced by a detector to the power measured by the radiometer. Insertion of a room-temperature photodiode into the field of view of the radiometer significantly disturbs the thermal e...
