Funded Activity Summary

Ultra-sensitivity through resonances in photonic bandgap fibres. The project will develop innovative biochemical sensors with extreme sensitivity using recently discovered physical processes in novel holey optical fibres. These sensors will be able to detect biological molecules, toxins or dangerous chemicals in minute concentrations, in very small sample sizes. The sensors can be mass-produced cheaply with current fabrication facilities within Australia, enabling their widespread use for water quality monitoring, environmental monitoring, threat detection, and rapid and reliable diagnosis in medicine.
