Anticipated Sole Source Award: Uniform Light Source System

The United States Air Force is issuing a sole source award for a Uniform Light Source System. The system must be capable of providing a wide range of luminance over a 16" aperture exit port and have full spectral tunability across the 0.25μm to 2.5μm bandwidth. The system should also provide a highly stable and dynamic luminance output capable of accurately simulating tactical environments. The contract will be awarded to Labsphere, Inc. • Uniform light source system capable of providing a wide range of luminance over a 16" aperture exit port. • Uniform radiance source to act as a spectral radiance calibration standard. • Integration of sphere measurement system for the reflectance, transmittance, and absorption measurement of windows and wind screens. • Customized spectrometer with SMA GerShun tube for radiometric transfer and recalibration of Labsphere equipment. • Training at Government site.
