Digital Interferometry: A platform technology for robust optical measurements

数字干涉测量是一个新概念，它将允许干涉测量的测量精度应用于其他难以接近或不合适的环境。它将提高主要科学仪器的性能，如引力波探测器和光学望远镜，同时降低成本，使澳大利亚在探索了解宇宙的过程中备受瞩目。当应用于日常情况时，例如监控，交通流量或振动监测，它可以给澳大利亚工业带来经济和社会优势，增加国家的财富和安全。

Digital interferometry is a new concept which will allow the measurement precision of interferometry to be applied in otherwise inaccessible or unsuitable environments. It will enhance the performance of major scientific instruments, such as gravitational wave detectors and optical telescopes, whilst reducing the cost, giving Australia a high profile in the quest to understand the universe. When applied to everyday situations, such as surveillance, traffic flow or vibration monitoring, it can give Australian industry a economic and social advantage, increasing the wealth and security of the nation.
