Dual-comb Hyperspectral Imaging Facility

该项目将创建一个双梳高光谱成像设备，以响应新出现的具有精确光谱分析的视频率成像的全球趋势。目前的光谱分析系统需要对样本进行连续扫描才能生成图像，这对于生物样本等动态系统来说太慢了。该设施将利用从可见光到中红外的光学频率梳，以快速成像和光谱分析样品。该设施支持的各种应用将使其成为多个学科之间的独特连接点，使健康和生命科学、功能纳米材料的表征、精密光子计量学和传感方面的研究成为可能。

This project will create a Dual-comb Hyperspectral Imaging Facility responding to newly emerging global trends towards video rate imaging with precision spectral analysis. Current spectral analysis systems require serial scanning of samples to create an image, which is too slow for dynamic systems such as biological specimens. This facility will harness optical frequency combs from visible to the mid-infrared, to rapidly image and spectrally analyse specimens. The diverse variety of applications supported by this facility will make it a unique nexus point between multiple disciplines, enabling research in health and life science, characterisation of functional nanomaterials, precision photonic metrology and sensing.
