Ultraviolet laser system (193 nanometres)

新的光栅和集成组件技术-其中许多是在澳大利亚现有设施中率先采用的-正在彻底改变光子学在电信以外学科中的作用。从用于能源和采矿业的超高温光纤光栅和高功率光纤激光器，到衬底处理，再到自组装结构的图案化化学附着，以及新的量子处理方法，新的研究领域正在出现。193 nm激光加工仍然是所有这些技术的核心。这一设施将继续使澳大利亚保持在支持下一代技术的研究的前沿。

New grating and integrated component technologies—many of which were pioneered in Australia at the existing facility—are revolutionising the role of photonics in disciplines outside of telecommunications. From ultra-high temperature fibre gratings for both the energy and mining industries and high power fibre lasers, through to the processing of substrates to pattern chemical attachment of self-assembled structures, and novel quantum processing approaches, new research areas are emerging. 193nm laser processing remains central to all these technologies. This facility will continue to keep Australia at the forefront of such research underpinning this next generation of technologies.
