Description

The National Research Council Canada requires a fast electronic spectrum analyzer to support quantum optics, ultrafast photonics, and high-speed optical/electronic measurements. The instrument will be used to characterize radio-frequency spectra, noise, and modulation signals from laboratory photodetectors and related measurement systems. The analyzer must provide sufficient bandwidth and measurement capability to support experiments involving fast optical pulses, high-speed detectors, and radio-frequency readout electronics. The contract duration is estimated to be 24 months, with delivery of all deliverables required on or before March 1, 2027. The procurement method is competitive open bidding under the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA).
