Description
The National Research Council Canada requires a widely tunable laser system with high power and high resolution covering the NIR wavelength range and extending to the MIR wavelength range. The tunable MIR laser should operate continuously over a broad tuning range from 1.45 to 4.0 micrometers. The wavelength scanning must be fully automated over the entire spectral range without changing any optics or modules. The contract duration is 12 months, and the procurement method is an Advance Contract Award Notice.
