Description
Specifications Combined Synopsis Solicitation This infrared spectroscopy array is crucial for quantum optics experiments which investigate atom-like single photon emitters. DELIVERABLES 1. NIST requires one (1) spectroscopy array to operate in the spectral range of 0.95-1.6 microns with > 80% quantum efficiency. 2. It is critical that NIST obtains the highest signal to noise ratio available. For long integration times, the signal to noise ratio is limited by the dark noise. NIST requires dark noise < 3000 electrons/pixel/second, and less is better. Total dark noise for the array should be no more than 5 million electrons/second. 3. NIST requires read noise < 6000 electrons per pixel, with preference to the lowest possible read noise once the dark noise requirement is satisfied. Total read noise for the full array should be no more than 10 million electrons. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 1. NIST requires one (1) spectroscopy array to operate in the spectral range of 0.95-1.6 microns with > 80% quantum efficiency. 2. It is critical that NIST obtains the highest signal-to-noise ratio available. For long integration times, the signal-to-noise ratio is limited by the dark noise. NIST requires dark noise < 3000 electrons/pixel/second and fewer is preferable. Total dark noise for the array should be no more than 5 million electrons/second. 3. NIST requires read noise < 6000 electrons per pixel, with preference to the lowest possible read noise once the dark noise requirement is satisfied. Total read noise for the full array should be no more than 10 million electrons. 4. The pixel size is (at most) 25 micron width by (at least) 500 micron height. Tall narrow pixels are essential for the spectroscopy application. The array must have a physical dimension of 20-30 mm in width and at least 500 microns tall to be compatible with the Acton spectrometer and to minimize acquisition time. 5. Continuous integration times with a minimum duration of 20 microseconds to at least 60 seconds duration is possible. 6. Detector non-uniformity of < 10% is required. 7. Acquisition software is Windows 7, 32-bit compatible and allows analysis of data such as background subtraction, integration, and fixed pattern noise removal. 8. Acquisition software must allow a means to integrate data taken from an Acton 2750i spectrometer with data acquired from the array. Acquisition software must control this existing spectrometer as well as the spectroscopy array. 9. The linear array must come with a spectrometer adapter to mount to an Acton 2750i spectrometer.
