We request a C-Fiber 780 Femtosecond Fiber Laser by Menlo in place of a similar system that has failed terminally in August 2012. This system was used full time (literally 24/7) as a pump laser for our THz time domain spectroscopy system. The system is a workhorse for our THz research activities, and its failure has catastrophically incapacitated our group. In fact, in April 2012 we have been awarded a 180K 3-year FQRNT équipe grant for the development of novel photoconductive materials for THz detection, while in September 2012 we have been awarded a 360K 3-year NSERC Strategic grant for the development of the THz camera. All these activities are currently on hold because of the burned pump laser. Therefore, it is critical that we acquire a new system to conduct our research activities.

我们请求门洛提供C-Fiber 780飞秒光纤激光器，以替代2012年8月最终失效的类似系统。该系统被用作我们的THz时域光谱系统的泵浦激光器。该系统是我们THz研究活动的主力，它的失败使我们的团队灾难性地丧失了能力。事实上，在2012年4月，我们已经获得了180 K的3年期THz探测用新型光电导材料的开发资助，而在2012年9月，我们已经获得了360 K的3年期NSERC战略资助，用于开发THz相机。由于泵浦激光器烧毁，所有这些活动目前都被搁置。因此，我们必须获得一个新的系统来进行我们的研究活动。
