Summary
Three-dimensional super-resolution nanophotonic fabrication facility. This stimulated emission depletion microscopy nanophotonic fabrication facility will be the first nanophotonic fabrication facility that is able to achieve optical resolution far beyond the diffraction limit, which will facilitate breakthroughs in cutting-edge nanotechnology research areas.
Liquid crystal-based optical fibre hydrophone system for underwater surveillance and ocean monitoring. The aim of this project is to design, implement and optimise a new class of optical sensing system which targets underwater surveillance and ocean monitoring. This project is expected to lead to improved national security, broaden Australia's photonics knowledge base, and contribute to greater international scientific collaboration.
Novel technologies for motion-compensated simultaneous Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging. The aim of this work is to develop motion tracking and motion correction techniques for an emerging hybrid imaging technology, MR-PET. The MR-PET scanner simultaneously acquires structural MR images and functional PET images. The work will provide clearer images without the effects of motion blur for both research and clinical applications.
