High Performance Microwave Oscillators for Radars, Comminication Systems and Precision Noise Measurements. The aim of the project is to develop a new class of microwave oscillators with unique combination of properties including low-noise, high frequency stability and reduced sensitivity to vibration. Such oscillators are essential for expanding fields of radar, fiber optics, optical frequency synthesis and metrology.

The aim of the project is to develop a new class of microwave oscillators with unique combination of properties including low-noise, high frequency stability and reduced sensitivity to vibration. Such oscillators are essential for expanding fields of radar, fiber optics, optical frequency synthesis and metrology.
The industrial partner's focus will be on demands for reduced cost and improved environmental performance, the university team will focus on improved frequency stability, optimal tuning and novel vibration immunity techniques.
Achieving the project goals will broaden the international markets for the industry partner's products and lead to increased export income for Australia.

Summary
Capability for the fabrication and characterisation of mid-infrared photonic materials. The proposed facility will support the development of new glass materials suitable for transmitting and generating light in the mid-infrared spectral region. This research will allow Australia to lead the world in developing new technologies that make use of the mid-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Particular applications that will flow from this research include the development of new optical ....Capability for the fabrication and characterisation of mid-infrared photonic materials.
