Laboratory in a Fibre: diagnostic, sensing and telecommunications technologies

光纤实验室旨在提供下一代诊断、传感和电信技术。在需要多个诊断、传感过程或组件技术的应用中，大规模生产用于光纤实验室的千米长光纤平台为芯片实验室技术提供了具有成本竞争力的替代方案。它不仅将使先进的仪器行业受益，也将使涉及材料加工、传感诊断、生物医学和国防的其他行业受益。该计划的整体整合将提供机制，以创造新的、高技能的澳大利亚产业。

The lab-in-a-fibre aims to provide the next generation of diagnostic, sensing and telecommunications technologies. Mass production of km long optical fibre platforms for the lab-in-a-fibre offers cost competitive alternative to lab-on-a-chip technologies in applications where several diagnostic, sensing processes or component technologies are required. It will benefit not only advanced instrument industries but also others involved with materials processing, sensing diagnostics, biomedicine and defence. The overall integration within the program will provide the mechanism to create new, highly skilled Australian industries.
