Enabling next-generation high-efficiency visible laser sources through advanced waveguide engineering

铌酸锂有可能成为光电子行业的硅。为了实现其潜力，需要解决与长期稳定和一体化成本相关的根本问题。该项目将开发一种新的混合制造平台，该平台绕过了过去将波导引入铌酸锂芯片的传统方法。该平台将能够为生物技术、环境传感和显示器等各种领域生产坚固、低成本的光源。该项目将带来新的知识产权，使澳大利亚成为该领域的领先者。

Lithium niobate has the potential to become the silicon of the optoelectronic industry. In order to realise its potential, fundamental problems associated with long term stability and cost of integration need to be solved. This project will develop a new hybrid fabrication platform that circumvents the traditional approaches pursued in the past for introducing waveguides into a lithium niobate chip. This platform will enable the production of robust, low cost light sources for fields as diverse as biotechnology, environmental sensing and displays. This project will lead to new IP that will establish Australia as a leader in this field.
