Mid-infrared light (beyond red out to what we feel as radiant heat) underpins many crucial applications that include the remote detection of explosives, chemicals and biological agents; dramatically speeding up internet communications; and even helping us detect planets in distant solar systems. The enormous cost of generating and analysing mid-infrared light using current technology has prevented many of these life-changing applications coming to fruition. This project aims to change this and deliver technological leadership in this crucial field to Australia, thereby generating significant social and economic benefits. This project will also enhance Australia's international links and build on a range of national research programs.

中红外光（从红光到我们感觉到的辐射热）支撑着许多关键应用，包括远程检测爆炸物，化学品和生物制剂;大大加快互联网通信;甚至帮助我们检测遥远太阳系中的行星。使用当前技术产生和分析中红外光的巨大成本阻碍了许多改变生活的应用实现。该项目旨在改变这一状况，并在这一关键领域为澳大利亚提供技术领先地位，从而产生重大的社会和经济效益。该项目还将加强澳大利亚的国际联系，并建立在一系列国家研究计划的基础上。
