## Summary

The University of Leeds is conducting a public tender for the procurement of a mid-infrared frequency comb laser system, which falls under the optical instruments category. The tender period ended on 24th January 2017, following an open procurement method where suppliers could submit bids. The subsequent contract was awarded on 1st March 2017, with the contract duration extending from 24th February 2017 to 24th February 2018. The delivery address for this contract is in West Yorkshire, postcode LS2 9JT, within the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in advanced optical technologies, particularly those capable of providing high-quality fibre laser systems and integrating components from various manufacturers. Companies with expertise in laser technology and optical systems would be particularly well-suited to explore similar future tenders, as the demand for innovative solutions in scientific research continues to grow.

## Notice

The School of Chemistry at the University of Leeds is seeking tenders for a mid-infrared frequency comb laser system, spanning 3.0 to 3.5 um with an average output power of at least 100 mW and a repetition rate of 250 MHz. A fibre laser system using difference frequency generation is envisaged as the most likely laser configuration. The laser system will be coupled to an external optical cavity for vibrational absorption measurements of atmospherically relevant molecules. It is expected that a single supplier will provide the system although the supplier may choose to integrate components sourced from more than one manufacturer.
