Adaptive optics is a technique for correcting wavefront distortions in light beams to improve optical imaging performance. The Research Network for Adaptive Optics aims to draw together isolated Australian and New Zealand research groups working on adaptive optics applications in disparate areas to achieve a critical mass of researchers in this burgeoning field. Adaptive optics has wide application in areas as diverse as astronomy, vision science, ophthalmology, microscopy, optical communications, laser radar, and laser beam shaping. The Research Network will coordinate and expand Australian involvement in these areas and inform industry, as have similar networks in the USA and Europe.Read moreRead less

Summary
Network for Optical and Quantum Science and Technology. This Network links world-class researchers involved with the investigation and application of light and atoms, particularly at the quantum level. Three ARC Centres of Excellence* will be linked and networked with other successful research groups in optics, including atom optics and Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC), quantum computing, optical switching, imaging, and interferometry. The Network-facilitated interactions will foster multidisci ....Network for Optical and Quantum Science and Technology. This Network links world-class researchers involved with the investigation and application of light and atoms, particularly at the quantum level. Three ARC Centres of Excellence* will be linked and networked with other successful research groups in optics, including atom optics and Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC), quantum computing, optical switching, imaging, and interferometry. The Network-facilitated interactions will foster multidisciplinary approaches linking the majority of the Australian optics community, and harnessing Australia's existing research excellence in optics to address major questions in optical and quantum science and technology.
* Quantum-Atom Optics (ACQAO), Quantum Computing Technology (CQCT), Ultrahigh Bandwidth Devices and Optical Systems (CUDOS).

This initiative will build an active, dynamic and strongly interdisciplinary network of young Australian scientists (most awarded their Ph.D. after 1985) working on the development of innovative electronic devices - a national research priority area with enormous economic and technological opportunity. The network will enable a nationally coordinated, internationally competitive approach that capitalizes on untapped opportunities, utilises existing/emerging Australian expertise and develops strong supporting links with similar networks overseas. The initiative will produce a public showcase of Australian strengths and opportunities in this field, and enable stronger collaborations and cooperative logistics management through the development of a dedicated network management website.Read moreRead less
