Interferometric Distributed Feedback Fibre Laser Sensors

该项目将解决为国防和海洋探测实现下一代水下光纤传感器系统的重要问题。OFTC在特种光纤和设备方面的专业知识将与泰雷兹在水下传感器系统方面的专业知识相结合，使澳大利亚处于全球领先地位。好处是商业、国家安全和研究地位。主要光学系统的国内制造将有助于由组件公司主导的行业的成熟。这种水下监视系统显然对一个拥有大片海岸线的国家很重要。该项目将为澳大利亚在光纤和光纤设备方面的卓越研究建立全球声誉。

This project will solve important problems in realising next generation underwater optical fibre sensor systems for defence and marine exploration. OFTC's expertise in specialty optical fibre and devices will be combined with Thales' expertise in underwater sensor systems to give Australia a global lead. The benefits are commercial, national security and research standing. Domestic manufacture of a major optical system will assist maturation of the sector which is dominated by component companies. This system for underwater surveillance is obviously important to a country with a large coastline to defend. This project will build Australia's global reputation renowned for research excellence in fibre and fibre devices.
