Nanophotonic Resonators: Metamaterials, Extraordinary Transmission & Sensing

Grant number: DP0878268 | Funding period: 2008 - 2012

Completed

Abstract

This project brings together Australia's strengths in nanotechnology, photonics and sensor technology and complements existing national research programs in nanophotonics. Research into new optical materials, developing novel insights and demonstrating the performance of new devices, will contribute to Frontier Technologies, while innovation in sensor technology falls under the Safeguarding Australia national research priority. This project will enhance Australia's international reputation in science and ensure we remain at the leading edge of one of the newest and most vibrant areas of physical optics. It will capitalise on the expertise of the investigators and gain leverage from Australia..
