DTU Department of Photonics Engineering wishes to purchase a Glass Extruder to be used for the fabrication of the preform which will be then used for drawing of microstructured optical fibers (MOFs) with complicated structures of micron sized air holes.
In particular it should be used to extrude novel chalcogenide glass-based preforms of different size and structures that contain Arsenic, Selenide and Sulfide elements but not limited to. The Glass Ex-truder should both be able to draw up to 30 mm in diameter preforms down to mm-sized preforms that will be inserted then to the Drawing Tower to fabricate the desired fiber. To make several inde-pendently controlled structures the extruder should be able to place parts of the preform and cane un-der vacuum and/or under different inert gases such as hydrogen or Argon. The draw tower should be at least 3m high including preform feeder.
This procured contract is not divided into lots. The reason for not dividing the contract into lots is related to the specific market for this procurement. The Contracting Authority is of the opinion that the object and extent of this contract means that the Contracting Authority will not gain the prober level of competition if the contract is divided into lots, since the variety and technical aspects are not broad enough to divide the contracts into lots.
