Fibre sensors with subwavelength features in the Terahertz radiation (T-ray) regime

通过这一计划，澳大利亚将受益于光子学方面的专业知识，这些专业知识将开发基于光纤技术的新型化学生物传感器。新奇之处在于，这种纤维将被用来引导太赫兹辐射(T-ray)频率，从而能够探测到非常少量的材料或流体样本。这是朝着将影响医疗、制药、法医和安全行业应用的系统迈出的根本一步。最终，澳大利亚将受益于一项新的尖端技术和一项新的诊断性生物传感技术。

With this program, Australia will benefit from expertise in photonics that will develop new chemical biosensors based on optical fibre technology. The novelty is that the fibres will be used to guide Terahertz radiation (T-ray) frequencies that will be able to detect very small samples of material or fluid. This is a fundamental step towards a system that will impact on applications in the medical, pharmaceutical, forensic, and security industries. Ultimately, Australia will benefit from a new cutting-edge technology and a new diagnostic biosensing technique.
