Total Quantity or Scope

This tender is to provide the Central Laser Facility (CLF) with multi-kilohertz, synchronised lasers and optical parametric amplifiers (OPAs) as a transformation of the capabilities of the CLF-ULTRA facility in a project called HiLUX. HiLUX is a major investment from the UKRI’s Large Scale Capital Infrastructure fund to provide the next generation of national-scale ultrafast laser facilities for UK. HiLUX will be available to academia and industry in the UK and internationally and will provide a broad range of capability through femtosecond to picosecond pulsed laser output, making pump-probe spectroscopy measurements across the UV – IR spectrum and from femtoseconds to seconds timescales. HiLUX will provide new facilities to complement UK and international university infrastructure, synchrotron and XFEL large-scale facilities. This national facility requires advanced spectroscopic capability that is reliable and well supported. We place high value on company track-record in delivery, service support, reliability and high long- and short-timescale laser pulse stability. A single supplier for all items required here is feasible and provides reliable servicing contacts and uniform software interfacing.
