Description
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking information on vendors that can provide a 145 GHz photodiode. This product will help enable the electro-optic sampling (EOS) photodiode calibration system to extend its frequency-domain capability beyond the current 110 GHz limit. The procurement is part of the FY26 calibration service development funding for extending the frequency range of photodiode calibrations.
Key requirements include:
• Female 0.8 mm coaxial connector
• Wavelength: 1480 nm - 1620 nm
• Low dark current: < 100 nA
• Bias voltage: +2 V
• RF output matched to 50 Ω
• FC/APC PM SMF fiber (1 meter in length)
Interested business organizations that believe they can meet the requirement should submit electronic copies of their capability statement, including company profile, product information, and specification sheets.
