Centre of Expertise in Photonics
The Centre of Expertise in Photonics, a joint venture between the Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) and the University of Adelaide was formed in May 2006. The centre sits within the Institute for Photonics & Advanced Sensing (IPAS), launched in November 2009.
Photonics is the science and technology that allows the generation and control of light using glass optical fibres.
The Centre, located in the Physics Building at the North Terrace campus at the University of Adelaide, will boost defence research into photonics technologies, which is the study and use of light, ranging from the visible to the mid infra-red spectrum.
Photonics is fundamental to many modern defence capabilities including communications, radar signal processing, electronic warfare systems and sensing.
