National Facility for Performance Characterisation of Infrared Technologies

该项目旨在建立一个国家设施，对最先进的和新兴的红外(IR)技术进行噪声性能表征。该设施将包括在设备和系统层面测量电子和电光噪声现象的最先进能力，这对澳大利亚开发的红外成像阵列和实验室原型以外的新型红外传感模式的进步提出了挑战。拟议的能力将使强大的基准和性能验证成为必要的工具，使“超越最先进的”主权红外技术可部署在国防和经济活动的不同领域，如环境监测和地球观测等。

This project aims to establish a National Facility for noise performance characterisation of state-of-the-art and emerging infrared (IR) technologies. The facility will include state-of-the-art capabilities to measure electronic and eletro-optic noise phenomena, at both device and system levels, that challenge the progress of Australian developed IR imaging arrays and novel IR sensing modalities beyond the laboratory prototypes. The capabilities proposed will enable robust benchmarking and performance validation as essential tools for enabling "beyond state-of-the-art" sovereign IR technologies deployable in defence and in diverse fields of economic activity, such as environmental monitoring and earth observation, among many others.
