Description

National Facility for Performance Characterisation of Infrared Technologies. This project aims to establish a National Facility for noise performance characterisation of state-of-the-art and emerging infrared (IR) technologies. The facility will include state-of-the-art capabilities to measure electronic and eletro-optic noise phenomena, at both device and system levels, that challenge the progress of Australian developed IR imaging arrays and novel IR sensing modalities beyond the laboratory prototypes. The capabilities proposed will enable robust benchmarking and performance validation as essential tools for enabling "beyond state-of-the-art" sovereign IR technologies deployable in defence and in diverse fields of economic activity, such as environmental monitoring and earth observation, among many others. . Scheme: Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities. Field: 4009 - Electronics, Sensors and Digital Hardware. Lead: Prof Lorenzo Faraone
