Title: Sources Sought Notice for Fast Steering Mirror System
The purpose of this sources sought notice is to conduct market research and identify potential sources of commercial products/services that satisfy the Government-s anticipated needs.
BACKGROUND
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Microsystems and Nanotechnology Division (MND) Physical Measurement Lab (PML) develops integrated microsystems by advancing the state of the art in nanofabrication, thereby enabling the transfer of NIST measurement technologies to the industrial, academic, and government communities. The MND-s Nanofabrication and Measurement group performs cryogenic optical microscopy and spectroscopy measurements of solid-state defect quantum emitters in chip-based silicon nanophotonic structures. A two-axis, high bandwidth, high resolution fast steering mirror system is required for scanning confocal photoluminescence microscopy of various types of quantum emitters in nanophotonic cavities. with a replaceable mirror.
Technical Requirements:
The system shall meet or exceed the technical specifications identified below. All items shall be new. Prototypes, first articles, demonstration models, used, refurbished or otherwise developmental systems, will not be considered for award.
The system shall consist of a fast steerable mirror head and controller unit.
The steerable mirror head shall support a replaceable mirror. A replaceable mirror is required to allow for optimal reflectivity for different wavelength ranges, reflecting the different wavelength ranges of the devices and quantum emitters to be investigated.
The mirror shall be steerable around two independent rotation (tip and tilt) axes centered on a single pivot point in the mirror head.
The tip tilt mirror motion shall be achieved based on voice coils, piezoelectric actuators or equivalent.
The mirror head shall incorporat...
