National Facility for Infrared Technologies

该项目旨在建立一个国家红外（IR）技术设施。该设施将包括先进的成像和光谱设施，以及用于红外材料和器件的晶圆尺度测绘的独特工具。合并后，该设施将实现超音速燃烧过程的新诊断能力，帮助建立波长灵活的集成光子芯片，并提供红外材料和器件的非破坏性定量电光特性。在澳大利亚各地建立这些最先进的能力将对天文学和量子信息等基础科学以及国防、航空航天、通信和安全等关键工业部门产生明显的好处。

This project aims to establish a national facility for infrared (IR) technologies. The facility will include advanced imaging and spectroscopy facilities as well as unique tools for wafer-scale mapping of IR materials and devices. Combined, the facility will enable new diagnostic capabilities of supersonic combustion processes, aid establishment of wavelength agile integrated photonic chips and provide non-destructive quantitative electro-optical characterisation of IR materials and devices. Establishment of these state-of-the-art capabilities across Australia will have clear benefits in fundamental sciences such as astronomy and quantum information as well as key industry branches in defence, aerospace, communications and security.
