The project will use the key understanding of the atomic relocation process in the GaAs-based system, with novel laser designs. Furthermore, elucidating the more complicated interdiffusion mechanism in the InP-based system will be a precursor to device integration. This project also aims to understand the interdiffusion mechanism in quantum dot structures, which are important for high performance optoelectronic devices. The fabrication of novel photonic integrated circuits (PICs) will generate patentable technology, and enhance Australia's semiconductor optoelectronic and photonic industry.Read moreRead less
Effective clinical handover communication: improving patient safety, experiences and outcomes. Communication in clinical handover (transfer of responsibility for patient care) plays a causal role in many adverse events. This project will contribute new knowledge for improvements in handover communication which will be shared across hospitals and health departments nationally to improve patient safety and reduce healthcare costs.

Photonic crystals have recently became very attractive for photonic technology, that uses light instead of slow electrons as the information carriers replacing electronics in communications and information management. This project has the purpose to develop the fundamental concept of nonlinear photonic crystals and demonstrate their possible applications analysing the properties of the nonlinearity-induced light localization, nonlinear transmission, and frequency conversion in band-gap materials with the intensity-dependent optical response. This will allow the possibility realising in practice nonlinear switching even for sharply bent waveguides, providing an effective way to control the flow of light in band-gap photonic circuits.Read moreRead less
