E-MAIL: Ollie G. Ragland, ollie.ragland@msfc.nasa.gov. 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; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). DESCRIPTION OF ITEMS: Item 1. -- Quantity 1 Each -- FIZEAU PHASE MEASURMENT INTERFEROMETER, PHASE SHIFT TECHNOLOGY'S MINIFIZ-50INTERFEROMETER OR EQUAL. THIS INTERFEROMETER ALSO INCLUDES A COMPUTER SYSTEM, AND SOFTWARE WHICH IS REQUIRED FOR OPERATION. (See Attached Specifications) Item 2. -- Quantity 1 Each -- 50 MM TRANSMISSION SPHERE F/7.6 LAMDA/10 PEAK TO VALLEY OR BETTER._PART 41200-004. Item 3. -- Quantity 1 Each -- ATTENUATION COATING FOR TRANSMISSION SPHERE F/7.6. Item 4. -- Quantity 1 Each -- ELECTRONIC SHUTTERED CAMERA, 8 EXPOSURES TIMES. PART # 41001-200. Item 5.—Quantity 1 Each -- FAST! V/AI SOFTWARE. PART # 11000-100. SPECIFICATIONS: Item 1: The Fizeau phase measurement interferometer for NGST testing at the XRCF must have the following specifications: Capable of phase shifting measurement with piston motion of an external reference surface. The reference surface is moved by a piezoelectric transducer (PZT). The interferometer with a transmission sphere must fit inside a pressure vessel having internal dimensions of 29" long x 12" high x 15" wide. Clear aperture of 50 mm to provide twice the lateral resolution of a 100 mm aperture system. Phase measurement resolution better than l/256. Calibrated accuracy better than l/100 p-v. Phase measurements with repeatability of better than l/10,000 rms and l/400 p-v. Hand held remote control for pupil focus, 4x zoom magnification, laser source intensity level, and align/view mode switch. Provide two sets of remote control cables and wiring diagram for wiring feedthru. Provide two sets of cables and wiring diagrams for all data and power cables between the interferometer and PC. Data acquisition time to be much less than 0.5 seconds. Frequency stabilized HeNe Laser source operating at 0.6328 micron, which improves the phase measurement over long path length. The laser should have variable attenuation to enable fringe contrast of high reflective surfaces without an attenuation filter. Dual CCDs, one for align, and another (384x256 pixels) for viewing and measurement to provide direct imaging of fringes without rotating diffuser. Auto calibration of the PZT transducer motion and auto correction for PZT and detector response non-linearity for phase measurements. The analysis software shall include an extensive variety of "Fiducial" options for aligning phase maps. The maps can then be rotated, scaled, and translated to allow for addition, subtraction, and averaging. The analysis software shall include the calculation of wavefronts in terms of Seidel and Zernike aberration coefficients. The software can display wavefronts afterremoval of Seidel coefficients. The Zernike coefficients are calculated up to 36 terms. The Zernike coefficients can be displayed along with graphic plots to determine proper alignment of the optical system. The analysis software shall include geometrical ray and diffraction analysis including geometric spot diagram, encircled energy, zonal slope diagram, point spread function, modulation transfer function, and encircled energy. DOS or windows like operating system. PC Pentium II operating at 333MHz or faster. Minimum 64 MB memory, 4 GB hard drive, CD ROM, 3.5" floppy drive, Zip drive, 17" SVGA monitor, and Windows 95. Item 1: MiniFiz 50P PhaseMeasurement Interferometer. Item 2: 50 mm transmission sphere f/7.6, l/10 p-v or better. Item 3: Attenuation coating for transmission sphere, f/7.6. Item 4: Electronic Shuttered Camera, 8 exposure times 41001-200 1/60;1/125;1/250;1/500;1/1000;1/2000;1/4000;1/10,000 sec. Item 5: FAST! V/AI software 11000-100.
