PART 1: INTRODUCTION

1. - Background Information

Since 1848 the University of Ottawa has been Canada’s university and the largest bilingual university in Canada. At the University of Ottawa, we understand our past and our desired future. The University of Ottawa is a major player in the cultural and economic development of the National Capital Region.

The University of Ottawa is one of Canada's leading research-intensive University. The University of Ottawa fosters excellence and success in research, whether the research is basic or applied, of intrinsic value or of commercial importance. The University of Ottawa considers itself to be Canada's university of the 21st Century by launching new initiatives in emerging areas, promoting collaboration within and across faculties, and providing the milieu in which creativity can flourish.

Further information regarding the University of Ottawa can be found on the Web site http://www.uottawa.ca/

We hereby invite your company (proponent) to partner with the University of Ottawa in this great project funded by the Canada Foundation for Innovation and the Ontario Research Fund by submitting an offer to this Request for Proposals and by including an in-kind contribution.

Please find attached the Request for Proposals documentation with specifications and the CFI guidelines pricing format to be completed and returned with your proposal.

1. - Statement of Requirements

The University of Ottawa is pleased to invite qualified proponents to submit a proposal for a Photovoltaic Characterization – Quantum Efficiency Measurement System to support research activities in the University of Ottawa’s SUNLAB, relating to photovoltaic device characterization. The system will be used characterize the quantum efficiency and reflectance of photovoltaic devices including:

Solar cells composed of Si, II-VI, and/or III-V semiconductors
Solar cells composed of organic and perovskite materials
Thin film solar cells
Multi-junction solar cells
Photonic power converters that convert monochromatic laser light
Thermophotovoltaic cells that convert heat
Betavoltaic devices that harvest beta particles

General Description:

The University requires a versatile and robust Photovoltaic Characterization – Quantum Efficiency Measurement System to characterize external and internal quantum efficiency and reflectance of photovoltaic devices based on a wide range of materials. The system must have:
A minimum wavelength range of 300-1800 nm for both quantum efficiency and reflectance (250-2500 nm is strongly preferred)
An adjustable beam size (minimum beam size of 2 mm or less in the largest dimension is strongly preferred)
Specular reflectance measurement capability (additional optional diffuse reflectance strongly preferred)
Built-in voltage biasing and light biasing capabilities
Conductive, temperature-controlled sample holder with vacuum hold and motion stage
High degree of stability and measurement repeatability over extended periods of time
Simple, fast, and reliable calibration process

The system will be installed in a temperature-controlled lab at the University of Ottawa on an optical table.
