SFU needs to purchase an optical characterization system for measuring time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) in micrometer-sized samples. The system must be capable of measuring the time-resolved photoluminescence between the range of 25 picoseconds to 1 nanosecond and 25 picoseconds to 25 nanoseconds. The system must be capable of measuring low levels of light emission from monolayer thick nanomaterials for calculating the quantum yield from transient PL. The system must be equipped with a pulsed diode laser with a wavelength of around 488nm and a pulse width of typically 80ps, capable of running at 100 MHz rep rate for fast time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC) measurements. The system must have an emission spectral range of 200 nm to 850nm. The microscope head must be directly coupled to the entrance of the spectrometer for minimum light loss (not fiber coupled) and the system must include microscope objectives of 10x and 50X VIS Objective. A vision camera and white light illumination must be embedded into the system for sample viewing through objective. The system has a manual XYZ stage which is upgradable to a motorized stage.
It is SFU’s intention to award a contract to HORIBA Canada Inc. to purchase a Microscope Time Resolved Photoluminescence Measurement System.
As of the issuing date of this ACAN an application for the funds has been approved. This purchase is subject to funds availability.
An ACAN is a public notice indicating to the supplier community that SFU intends to award a contract for goods, services, or construction to a pre-identified supplier, thereby allowing other suppliers to signal their interest in bidding, by submitting a statement of capabilities. If no supplier submits a Statement of Capabilities that meets the requirements set out in the ACAN, on or before the submission deadline stated in the ACAN, SFU may then proceed with the award to the pre-identified supplier. If other potential suppliers submit Statements of Capabilities during the posting period, and meet the requirements set out in this ACAN, SFU may proceed to a Request for Proposal process.
