Funded Activity Summary

Highly nonlinear all-optical switches using chalcogenide photonic crystal. Business productivity and economic prosperity are increasingly correlated with the speed of a country's Internet connections and computer infrastructure. Australia will benefit from dramatic improvements to communications technology arising from this research, through access to improved services and through the creation of enterprises formed to commercialise our novel technology. The benefits from the eventual development of ultrahigh speed networks include better rural and regional connectivity, improved business productivity and the emergence of new high-bandwidth services, such as telemedicine and flexible learning.
