This project aims to develop the science that would enable a new low-cost laser radar (LIDAR) for imaging the world around us. LIDAR has applications in facial recognition, forestry and autonomous vehicles – our new device will uniquely offer the ability to work underwater thereby opening up new possibilities for maritime environmental and vehicle monitoring. Our approach exploits a new form of optical pulse propagation in precisely shaped crystals to generate bespoke laser pulses that enable high-speed and precise ranging to targets of interest. The science behind these new types of optical pulses offers the ability for Australia to lead a new scientifically and industrially important field.

该项目旨在开发一种新的低成本激光雷达（LIDAR），用于对我们周围的世界进行成像。激光雷达在面部识别、林业和自动驾驶汽车等领域都有应用，我们的新设备将提供独特的水下工作能力，从而为海洋环境和车辆监测开辟了新的可能性。我们的方法利用一种新的光脉冲传播形式，在精确形状的晶体中产生定制的激光脉冲，从而实现对感兴趣目标的高速精确测距。这些新型光脉冲背后的科学为澳大利亚提供了引领一个新的科学和工业重要领域的能力。
