The Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems (TMOS) will develop the next generation of miniaturised optical systems with functionalities beyond what is conceivable today.
By harnessing the disruptive concept of meta-optics, we will overcome complex challenges in light generation, manipulation and detection at the nanoscale. Our research outcomes will underpin future technologies, including real-time holographic displays, artificial vision for autonomous systems to see the invisible, remote Earth observation, and wearable medical devices. With impact on par with the development of the transistor, our devices will drive Industry 4.0.
Our Research
-
Generate
We're developing miniaturised, compact and energy-efficient light sources that can be easily integrated onto micro/nano-electronic platforms, including quantum light sources and nanoscale lasers.
-
Manipulate
We're creating tunable metadevices where the properties of light can be controlled and programmed dynamically in real time for image processing applications.
-
Detect
We are integrating of metasurfaces into photodetectors to expand their functionality and develop the next generation of imaging systems from the visible to the LWIR regions.
Industrial Applications
-
Integrated Sensors
Our research group is at the forefront of developing miniaturized integrated optical sensors. These sensors are designed to detect a wide range of wavelengths, from visible light to the infrared spectrum. They are also capable of identifying various properties of light, such as phase and polarization. This makes them highly versatile and useful for a range of applications.
-
Quantum Technologies
Our researchers are dedicated to developing hardware for novel quantum technologies. Specifically, we are focusing on engineering new quantum light sources and single photon detectors which have the potential to revolutionise computing, communications, and sensing.
Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Access at TMOS
Diversity is not only a matter of fairness but also a catalyst for innovation and progress in our field. Our IDEA initiatives work to level the playing field.
