About this file
This Statement of Work (SOW) details NASA Langley Research Center's requirement for procuring an intensified sCMOS (scientific CMOS) camera for UV imaging to support molecular tagging velocity measurements. The camera must have specific technical specifications, including at least 5.5 megapixels resolution (2560x2160 pixels), 6.5 μm or smaller pixel size, monochrome sensor with 18% quantum efficiency in 200-300 nm range, ultrashort 2 ns intensifier gate, fast phosphor decay, 400 ns interframe time, low readout noise, and capability for external triggering and high frame rates up to 4004 fps.
The procurement calls for a single camera unit no larger than 140 mm x 120 mm x 240 mm, powered by 110V, 60 Hz single-phase electricity, to be assembled by the vendor and delivered to NASA Langley Research Center by the end of November 2025. The solicitation is marked as a sole source requirement specifically for Andor Cameras, indicating a direct procurement without competitive bidding, under solicitation number 80NSSC25911554Q issued by the NASA Shared Services Center.

STATEMENT OF WORK
1. Objective/Requirements Procurement of an intensified sCMOS (scientific CMOS) camera to perform
UV imaging, including control software, for development of novel molecular tagging velocity measurements to support NASA missions.
2. Characteristics, Scope, and Specs
NASA Langley currently has a need to purchase an intensified camera that combines high pixel resolution, UV sensitivity, ultrashort intensifier gates, and minimal interframe times. These features are critical for a class of measurement techniques known as molecular tagging velocimetry, where gas molecules are tagged through an excitation process (often laser excitation) and tracked through a flow. The low noise floor of an sCMOS camera is highly advantageous for such applications, while the ultrashort exposure times are critical for tracking the gas. Also critical for our application is a single unit for the camera and intensifier with fiber coupling between the intensifier and the camera.
The camera shall have the following specifications to enable such measurements to be performed:
o Effective number of pixels of at least 5.5 megapixels (i.e. 2560x2160 pixels) at full resolution to enable high-resolution imaging.
o Small pixel size of 6.5 μm or less.
o Monochrome sensor.
o Sensor with quantum efficiency (QE) of at least 18% in the range of 200-300 nm.
o Minimum intensifier gate of 2 ns or less to minimize motion blurring for molecular tagging velocimetry.
o Fast phosphor decay time to 10% of initial value within 200 ns.
o Interframe time (amount of time between two sCMOS camera frames) of 400 ns or less.
o Readout noise of 2.6 electrons RMS with minimum dark current of 0.18 electrons per pixel and pixel well depth of at least 30,000 electrons.
o Intensifier unit with 3.3 MHz or faster gating in burst mode to allow two or more successive intensifier gates within the lifetime of the molecular fluorescence for molecular tagging velocimetry o Frame rate of 49 fps at full resolution with capacity to operate at reduced pixel count at frame rates up to 4004 fps (for example with 2560x8 pixels).
o Capacity to be externally triggered for synchronization with laser systems, associated electronics, and other camera systems.
o Physical size no larger than 140 mm x 120 mm x 240 mm for measurements in confined environments, with a single unit containing all essential optical and electronic components.
o Power Requirements: 110V, 60 Hz, single phase.
