Funded Activity Summary

Upgrade key fabrication equipment for specialty fibre and device research and development. Australia remains a world leader in enabling technologies spanning information and communication, lasers, photonic sensing and diagnostics and much more. Underpinning much of this have been key backbone facilities at UNSW and at Sydney. Optical fibre research internationally is moving in new directions and for Australia to continue its leadership role, dedicated facilities for new generation structured optical fibres, which are already impacting much more significantly than conventional fibres, must be available. The upgrade at UNSW will position Australia to continue its leadership and introduce educational and vocational training for the new industries that will depend on these core technologies.
