Photonics, a key research strength in Australia, emerged from the telecommunications industry. But this exciting field has now begun to foster new scientific disciplines. One of the most recent is astrophotonics, a field at the interface of photonics and another Australian research strength, astronomy. Astrophotonics will deliver cutting-edge technologies to ensure Australia's astronomical lead in the next decade. These new facilities will serve as a vital stepping stone to the Giant Magellan Telescope, a $500M project promising enormous economic, engineering and scientific opportunities for Australia. Astrophotonics will also lead to innovative technology transfer to fields such as medical science, optical computing and sensor technology.

光电子学是澳大利亚的一个关键研究力量，它是从电信行业中产生的。但这个令人兴奋的领域现在已经开始培育新的科学学科。其中最新的一个是天文光子学，这是一个处于光子学和另一个澳大利亚研究力量天文学之间的领域。Astrophotonics将提供尖端技术，以确保澳大利亚在未来十年的天文领先地位。这些新设施将成为巨型麦哲伦望远镜的重要垫脚石，这是一个5亿美元的项目，为澳大利亚带来了巨大的经济，工程和科学机会。天文光子学还将导致创新技术转移到医学、光学计算和传感器技术等领域。
