BACKGROUND
This is a notice to request information from industry to help the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) determine the availability and capability of small businesses and other than small businesses to provide Polarization-Entangled Photon Source to NIST Gaithersburg site.
This notice is strictly to request information for market research purposes to help NIST determine the appropriate acquisition strategy for this requirement. This notice shall not be construed as a solicitation, an obligation, or commitment by the NIST.
OVERVIEW
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) require a polarization-entangled photon source based on spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC). The source must be capable of accepting an external pump laser and generating high-quality polarization-entangled photon pairs. Critically, the system should be built using a periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) waveguide, which offers efficient nonlinear conversion and compact integration. See attached draft Requirements/Specifications document.
ANTICIPATED PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE
NIST anticipates that delivery, installation, and training will occur within 16 weeks after receipt of the order.
INFORMATION REQUESTED FROM INDUSTRY SOURCES:
NIST invites industry sources to review this notice carefully and to familiarize themselves with the draft requirements/specifications document. Thereafter, by the closing date of this notice, NIST encourages those sources to submit responses to lia.a...
