Purchase and delivery of one (1) of a Spectrograph for dispersing short-wave infrared wavelengths

The NRC requires a grating spectrograph for dispersing short-wave infrared (SWIR) wavelengths (primarily 1000nm to 1600nm) with high efficiency. The spectrograph will be interfaced with NRC’s suite of detectors, including photodiodes and superconducting nanowire detectors. The outcome is that researchers will be able to measure the spectra of low-brightness optical sources with sub-nanometer resolution by scanning the transmission wavelength of the spectrograph and detecting photons with their own detectors.
