Scope of the contract will include manufacture, delivery and installation.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The purpose of this laser system is to generate photo electrons to be used in PEEM and LEEM experiments. To achieve the best signal to noise possible the laser needs to be high intensity, continuous wave. UV laser with excellent spatial mode, narrow linewidth, and long-term stability. Ideally turnkey operation will be possible and minimum maintenance required. All routing optics and auxiliary equipment such as laptops and chillers must be included. Footprint and layout must be included. All software required for full operation of the laser system must be supplied and training given on every aspect of operation and maintenance. Please also supply options for extended warranty/service contract/service visits and the lifetime of key components, such as crystals, including replacement protocols.
