Summary
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking to procure an Optical Wavelength Tunable Filter System, which is essential for the development of integrated quantum photonics devices, particularly for single-photon emitters and entangled photon sources. This procurement is intended to enhance NIST's capabilities in characterizing the spectrum of photon sources with high-resolution narrowband filtering. The system will be utilized within the NIST Information Technology Laboratory in Gaithersburg, MD, and is specifically designed to integrate with existing test suite setups, including a comprehensive python software library. Given the specialized nature of this requirement, the opportunity is primarily aimed at Santec USA Corporation, as they are the only known supplier capable of meeting these specific needs. Other contractors with similar capabilities may also consider bidding, but they must demonstrate their ability to fulfill the unique specifications outlined in the notice.
