This NSERC Alliance project involves a partnership between Sciencetech (London ON) and the Ultrafast electron Imaging Laboratory (UeIL) of the University of Waterloo. Sciencetech is a 100% Canadian owned company that has positioned itself as a growing leader in the production of solar simulators, high-resolution spectrometers, and a variety of spectroscopic instrumentation. Sciencetech has designed and manufactured optical spectroscopy instruments in Canada during the past 36 years. UeIL is an academic research laboratory that specializes in the development of hardware and software solutions for advanced ultrafast time-resolved spectroscopies.This proposal will enable the production of a fully automated ultrafast time-resolved broadband spectrometer, herein referred to as SciFast. This development involves both hardware and software and will be completed within 18 months.This partnership will lead to the generation of technology innovation that will confer a strong base for growth with the addition of two new product offerings to Sciencetech's portfolio and improved software solutions: SciFast as a fully integrated system and a high-speed dispersive broadband spectrometer (the detector of SciFast) as a standalone unit. The latter will extend the current line of spectrometers of Sciencetech by incorporating their first compact dispersive model.To the best of our knowledge, there is only a handful of companies worldwide providing similar products to SciFast, which will become the first fully integrated time-resolved broadband spectrometer produced in Canada.

这个NSERC联盟项目涉及科学技术（伦敦ON）和滑铁卢大学的超快电子成像实验室（UeIL）之间的合作伙伴关系。Sciencetech是一家100%的加拿大公司，该公司将自己定位为太阳能模拟器、高分辨率光谱仪和各种光谱仪器生产领域不断增长的领导者。在过去的36年里，Sciencetech在加拿大设计和制造了光学光谱仪器。UeIL是一个学术研究实验室，专门从事先进的超快时间分辨光谱的硬件和软件解决方案的开发。该提案将使全自动超快时间分辨宽带光谱仪（此处称为SciFast）的生产成为可能。这一发展涉及硬件和软件，将在18个月内完成。此次合作将带来技术创新，为Sciencetech的产品组合和改进的软件解决方案增加两种新产品，为增长奠定坚实的基础：SciFast是一个完全集成的系统，高速色散宽带光谱仪（SciFast的探测器）是一个独立的单元。后者将通过合并他们的第一个紧凑色散模型来扩展目前Sciencetech光谱仪的产品线。据我们所知，全球只有少数几家公司提供类似的产品，SciFast将成为加拿大生产的第一个完全集成的时间分辨宽带光谱仪。
