2024-10 Handheld Spectrometer System Prototype for Waveguide-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy

Due: October 2, 2024

Chemical Biological Center, Research and Technology Directorate, Sensor Technologies and BioMaterials Division, Spectroscopy Branch is seeking a solution for sensitive and selective detection of hazardous vapors. To develop a handheld, battery-operated, prototype Raman spectrometer system that can communicate wirelessly and is suitable for use for WERS-based detection of hazardous vapors. The system will contain a suitable compact Raman spectrometer and linearly-polarized single-mode laser, along with the necessary control and acquisition electronics. The system will be able to communicate wirelessly with an external tablet computer for data acquisition and control purposes. The system should have two polarization-maintaining single mode fibers to interface with a DEVCOM CBC/NRL produced WERS sampling adapter for laser delivery and Raman scattered light return.

Responding to this opportunity requires membership in the Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Consortium. This Consortium releases numerous solicitations throughout the year, so even if this opportunity may not end up being right for you, we strongly encourage you to join, so you are ready for the next opportunity.
