Notice Title

Tuneable Laser System for Synchrotron Pump-Probe Studies

Notice Description

The scope of this tender is for an ultra-fast laser system suitable to be moved between experimental beam-lines with wavelength and repetition rate tuning. The laser system will initially be integrated into the central laser facility's development lab and the scope of the contract will include: - manufacture and delivery, - installation with commissioning and performance tests, - hardware and software maintenance service (service contract), - service visit for the first move and installation on to an experimental beam-line at diamond light source.
