High Performance Optical and Electronic Coatings Facility

该项目的主要目的是为澳大利亚建立一个最先进的光学和电子涂层设施， 光电子及纳米科技研究界，以发展通讯，资讯科技及纳米科技行业感兴趣的新科技。该设施将允许制造一系列有源和无源器件，包括光子集成电路。该设备足够灵活，可以沉积一系列具有不同结构、光学和电学特性的电介质和金属层。该设施可能为开发微腔、纳米晶体、可调谐激光器和探测器、原子力显微镜的新型杠杆开辟新的机会。

The main aim of this project is to establish a state-of-the-art optical and electronic coatings facility for the Australian optoelectronics and nanotechnology research community to develop novel technologies of interest to communications, information technology and nanotechnology industries. The facility will allow the fabrication of a range of active and passive devices including photonic integrated circuits. The facility is flexible enough to allow the deposition of a range of dielectric and metal layers with different structural, optical and electrical characteristics of fundamental as well as applied interest. This facility may open up new opportunities to develop microcavities, nanocrystals, tunable lasers and detectors, novel cantilevers for atomic force microscopy.
