    Brief

    Swansea University's Faculty of Science and Engineering seeks to procure a high-power UV-optimised tuneable light source (TLS) for advanced spectroscopic research. This equipment will be installed in the Centre for Integrative Semiconductor Materials (CISM) and used collaboratively by the electrical engineering and physics departments. The TLS must deliver optimised output in the UV range (200-400 nm) with minimum average output power of 1 mW and spectral bandwidth below 5 nm to maximise dynamic range for precision spectroscopic experiments. Key applications include photo deflection spectroscopy and external quantum efficiency measurements. This procurement expands CISM's existing near-infrared and visible spectroscopic capabilities to UV wavelengths, enabling comprehensive spectroscopic and electro-optical characterisation of wide bandgap semiconductors. Prospective suppliers should demonstrate expertise in tuneable UV light sources and capability to meet the specified power and bandwidth requirements.
