Advanced Laser, Sensor and Diagnostic Technologies Using New Generation Micro- and Nano- Structured Fibres and Gratings

该项目旨在提供下一代激光和传感器技术，不仅使先进仪器行业受益，还使其他涉及材料加工，传感诊断，生物医学和国防的行业受益。寻找光与所有光敏材料相互作用的通用模型，再加上在纤维中演示纳米技术，将导致新的光栅和纤维，这些技术的基础，以及开辟新的技术和工艺，如光波导的实际辐射硬化。

The project aims to provide the next generation of laser and sensor technologies, benefiting not only advanced instrument industries but also others involved with materials processing, sensing diagnostics, biomedicine and defence. The search for a universal model of light interactions with all photosensitive materials, coupled with a demonstration of nanotechnology within a fibre, will lead to new gratings and fibres that underpin these technologies as well as open up new techniques and processes such as practical radiation hardening of optical waveguides.
