Functional micro-multiplexers based on nonlinear three-dimensional photonic crystal superprisms

功能非线性微多路复用器的发展对光信息处理、通信和生物传感等领域的片上应用具有重要意义。拟议的项目将使设备性能得到极大改善，并显著降低相关基础设施的成本和规模，最终促进下一代小型化全光网络。该项目的成功将为新兴的光子学和纳米技术做出重要贡献，并加强澳大利亚在这些领域的国际领先地位。设备性能的提高、新IP的开发以及新产品的商业化将为澳大利亚带来重大的社会和经济效益。

The development of functional nonlinear micro-multiplexers is vital to on-chip applications in optical information processing, telecom and bio-sensing. The proposed project will enable both enormous improvements of device performance and the significant reduction in the cost and size of the associated infrastructures and eventually facilitate the next generation miniaturised all-optical networks. The success of the project will make essential contributions to the emerging photonics and nanotechnology, and strengthen Australia's international leading role in these fields. The improvement of device performance, the development of new IP, and the commercialisation of novel products will deliver major social and economic benefits to Australia.
