This project will help to initiate in Australia a systematic study of nonlinear properties of liquid crystals for applications in optical components. Taking the advantage of strong and tunable nonlinear response of liquid crystals and low threshold powers, it will analyse new opportunities for controllable light manipulation in nanoscale photonic devices, suggesting realistic designs for tunable photonic circuits. The project will promote this attractive field and will facilitate the emergence of novel technologies. It will also lead to important international collaborations and bring important new expertise to Australia, complementing the core research program of the ARC Centre of Excellence CUDOS.

该项目将有助于在澳大利亚启动用于光学元件应用的液晶非线性特性的系统研究。利用液晶强且可调谐的非线性响应和低阈值功率的优势，分析纳米级光子器件中可控光操纵的新机会，为可调谐光子电路的设计提供现实的建议。该项目将促进这一有吸引力的领域，并将促进新技术的出现。它还将导致重要的国际合作，并为澳大利亚带来重要的新专业知识，补充ARC卓越中心的核心研究项目。
