- Description
- This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This notice is being issued as a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for: Quantity of 1, Ultra-Fast Intensified Charge Coupled Device (ICCD) Camera which must meet the following minimum specifications: Background Researching large volume plasma generation in sub-atmospheric pressure conditions is one of the main tasks on the hypersonic research base program at NASA GRC. Large volume plasma generation requires high voltage pulses with rise times in the nano-second range. Capturing the history of the streamer formation is crucial to the understanding of its formation. As such, a fast speed camera with gate widths that are in the order of ~200-500 pico-seconds is crucial to acquiring and capturing the streamer formation. As such an ultra-high rep. rate and fast gating image intensifiers is required that has selectable modes of operation (COMB, LOGIC, RF, DC and User), has jitter < 15ps, has no Irising or drift, generates a reproducible signal, has high quality shielding, has optimized peripheral devices such as optical trigger unit, fast delay unit etc., and is Turn-Key system including PC, TTL I/O interface and comprehensive software ready for easy integration in user's experimental setup. The detailed specifications of the required system are: An ultrahigh rep. rate gated intensified CCD Camera System that includes the following minimum requirements for the aspects stated below: - Image Intensifier capable of: Gen II single stage MCP Photocathode with highest sensitivity and spectral response in the 200-800 nm range Gain Modulation: up to 1GHz Minimum Gate Width: <300ps Gating Rep. Rate: < 110MHz Gating jitter: < 20ps Relay lens (2.17:1) - CCD Camera- Imager 3 QE capable of: Progressive scan interline sensor: 1376 (H) x 1040 (V) Pixel/Array size: 6.45?m x 6.45?m (8.67 x 6.6 mm?) Quantum Efficiency @ 550nm: 65% Dark current: < 0.1 e-/pixel/sec @ -12 degree C Read-out noise: 4...5 e- (high gain); 5...6 e- (low gain) Readout rate: 16 Mpix/s; 10 frames/s A/D converter: 12 bit 2-stage cooling with forced air cooling to -12 degree C - Pulse Delay Generator capable of: PC plug-in module for PCI slot Delay range: 10ns-100?s Jitter: 10ps or 0.05% of Delay Range Delay resolution: down to 2.5ps Output: TTL, NIM or ECL Output Pulse Width: 2ns to 200ns Max. Rep. Rate up to 20 MHZ - Personal Computer: >3 GHz Pentium Processor, > 200 GB HD, 1GB RAM, DVD R/W, MS Windows XP, 17? LCD flat screen monitor Incl. TTL I/O (4 inputs, 20 outputs) interface - 32 or 64 bit Software capable of: Operating camera function and delay unit control, image acquisition processing and analysis. - Optical Trigger Unit capable of: Input: optical or electrical Output: 2V pulse, <30ps jitter - In addition the unit should have an upgradeable intensifier head modification to allow: additional gate widths <100ps to 400ps @ up to 10kHz High Voltage Pulser for gating - On-site installation and training for NASA scientists is required. The provisions and clauses in the RFQ are those in effect through FAC 05-18. The NAICS Code is 334516. The DPAS rating for this procurement is DO-C9. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. Delivery to NASA Glenn Research Center, Freight Traffic Officer, MS: 21-6 21000 Brookpark Rd.
