Line 1, Diode Pumped Solid State (DPSS) Laser

Royal Military College of Canada (RMC), Department of Physics and Space Science has a requirement for supply and delivery of one (1) Diode Pumped Solid State (DPSS) laser.

Laser-Induced-Breakdown-Spectroscopy (LIBS) is now a very well-established method to detect impurity concentration (in ppm) in various types of material specimens. Sludge and food specimen holding very small heavy metal impurities can be readily detected. LIBS is more straightforward in terms of sample preparation as opposed to many other established methods involving tedious manipulations.

In order to conduct LIBS in soil, in food or even in bones from animals slaughtered by humans to quantify the concentration of lead (or other heavy metals) leading to disease, we need to generate a few pulses of high energy. The DPSS lasers deliver enough energy per pulse to ablate matter locally (within the size of a hair thickness) and then detect the spectral signatures of all types of impurities held in a region confined to the surface of a given specimen.

Due to the nature of the bid solicitation, bids transmitted by facsimile to PWGSC will not be accepted.

THE SOLICITATION AMENDMENT No. 001 IS RAISED TO MODIFY THE SOLICITATION AND PROVIDE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FROM THE INDUSTRY. Delivery Date: Above-mentioned
