Description
The University of Central Florida (UCF) is seeking a sole source provider for a Superconducting Nanowire Single Photon Detection System. The system is required for research purposes to detect and measure extremely faint light signals with high precision. The sole source justification form has been submitted, and the procurement services will review the documentation to determine whether the sole source is valid. The system must meet specific requirements, including photon-number-resolving detection, parallel-pixel detector, and compatibility with the collaborator's system. ID Quantique is the proposed supplier, and they have offered a discount totaling $107,034. The procurement services will process a purchase order upon receipt of the requisition after the sole source approval.
Some key features of the system include:
• Photon-number-resolving detection
• Parallel-pixel detector
• > 85% quantum efficiency
• Compatibility with collaborator's system
The system will be used for research purposes, and the supplier will provide a warranty for 12 months.
