The Development of High Power Cryo-Cooled Lasers and Their Application to Remote Sensing and Other Satelite-based Data Acquisition

我们将开发高功率低温冷却激光器，这将直接为前沿技术和安全保卫澳大利亚的国家研究重点做出贡献。特别是，它将有助于光子学、环境遥感以及天基国防和监视应用。它将使澳大利亚成为该领域的先驱，并产生重要的知识产权。它将有益于澳大利亚和国际激光和国防工业，它将是培养年轻的激光物理学家和工程师的理想项目，目前澳大利亚严重缺乏这方面的人才。

We shall develop high power cryo-cooled lasers which will contribute directly to the national research priorities in Frontier Technologies and Safe Guarding Australia. In particular it will contribute to photonics, to remote sensing of the environment and to space based defence and surveillance applications. It will establish Australia as a pioneer in the field and generate important IP. It will be of benefit to Australian and international laser and defence industry, and it will be an ideal project for educating young laser physicists and engineers, of which there currently is a serious shortage in Australia.
