ARC Centre of Excellence in Optical Microcombs for Breakthrough Science

ARC光学微梳卓越中心（ARC Centre of Excellence in Optical Microcombs for Breakthrough Science）该中心旨在通过利用和建立在物理学，材料科学和纳米纤维的最新突破基础上，探索将从光频梳（整个光谱中精确间隔的数千个高纯光信号）中产生的全社会范围的转变。它预计将在天文学，光谱学，化学传感器和精密测量等领域产生广泛的新知识基础。预期成果包括能够在指甲大小的芯片上实现完整的梳状系统，为特定应用量身定制，从成像活细胞到自动驾驶汽车，卫星通信和搜索系外行星都有显着的好处。

ARC Centre of Excellence in Optical Microcombs for Breakthrough Science. This Centre aims to explore the society wide transformations that will flow from optical frequency combs - thousands of highly pure light signals precisely spaced across the entire optical spectrum - by leveraging and building upon the latest breakthroughs in physics, materials science and nanofabrication. It expects to generate a wide new base of knowledge in fields as diverse as astronomy, spectroscopy, chemical sensors, and precision measurement. Expected outcomes include the capability to realise complete comb systems on a chip the size of a fingernail, tailored to specific applications, with significant benefits spanning from imaging live cells to autonomous vehicles, satellite communications, and the search for exoplanets.
