## Description

The Vollmer Research Group at the University of Exeter develops novel sensor technologies\. They have developed an optical single-molecule sensor, so called "Whispering Gallery Mode Sensor \(WGM sensor\)\. Their next goal is to add spectroscopy to the established sensor system\. To achieve this goal, a dedicated, widely tunable, narrow linewidth CW laser system is needed\. They require a narrow linewidth \(~1 MHz\) laser system operating at nominal ~ 800 nm wavelength with coarse wavelength-tuning capability \(~300 nm\) and ~25 GHz of mode-hop free fine-tuning capability which will be required for sensor operation by swept-wavelength scanning at ~100 Hz\. Applicants will be required to register their interest for the relevant tender documents on the University of Exeter's electronic tendering 'In-Tend' System \(http://in-tendhost\.co\.uk/universityofexeter/asp/home\.asp\) The procurement exercise is completely managed via this electronic system and only registering on http://in-tendhost\.co\.uk/universityofexeter/asp/home\.asp will ensure that you receive all the relevant information and follow-up document\.
