DIRECTOR’S REPORT
Welcome to the 2012-2013 IPOS annual report. This
represents another very successful period for the Photonics
and Optics community at the University of Sydney. This
annual report is a brief snapshot of the achievements and
events and I hope you will find it enjoyable. Some of the
highlights are summarized below with my personal perspective
on the evolution of photonics and optics at the University of
Sydney.
The landscape for photonics research at the University of
Sydney is changing with the construction of the Australian
Institute of Nanoscience (AIN) that will be opened in 2015.
This new project, which is funded by the Federal Government
and the University of Sydney, will incorporate state of the
art laboratories for photonics research and clean room space
for a nanolithography facility. With this major investment we
will see an emphasis in the University of Sydney research
program towards nanoscience and nanotechnology, building
on the University’s strengths in photonics, quantum science
and material science. This new initiative builds nicely on
much of the current IPOS research activities, particularly the
CUDOS program in nanophotonics and will enhance other
IPOS programs and stimulate new research. In this context
the University is investing in new permanent positions,
including the recent appointment of Dr Stefano Palomba in
the School of Physics who leads a program in nanoplasmonics
and bio-sensing. The expectation is that the University will
invest in other permanent positions around nanotechnology
and photonics, recognizing these areas as priorities for the
University.
The AIN will incorporate major facilities that will massively
enhance IPOS research both in terms of basic science
and technology transfer. A major focus of the AIN is the
nanotechnology prototyping facility that will include a
complete lithography facility, with an emphasis on silicon
nanophotonics, and other facilities for deposition and
processing of photonic materials, underpinning research
in metamaterials and plasmonics and new frontiers of
nanophotonics research. Built around this facility will be a
prototyping facilities that will include electronics, packaging,
3D-printers, pigtailing of photonic components and other
tools that are essential to developing practical prototypes of
photonic devices so they can be showcased to end-users
and industry partners. This initiative follows nicely from the
strategic plans that were developed by IPOS in its early days.
2013 started very sadly with the death of Dr Peter Domachuk.
Peter was a graduate of the University of Sydney and was
an active member of the School of Physics and IPOS. He
was leading an exciting research program in bio-photonics
and was funded by the ARC postdoctoral fellowship scheme.
Peter served on the IPOS executive and had been involved
PROF. BEN EGGLETON
in numerous initiatives, including the 2010 IPOS Symposium
which he chaired and the IPOS Masters in Photonics and
Optics, which he coordinated. The Peter Domachuk Memorial
Lecture has been established and was launched in 2013
with the inaugural lecturer, Prof. Fio Omenetto from Tufts
University. In 2015 we will be hosting Prof. Federico Capasso
from Harvard University. Peter’s legacy will live long into the
future and we will remember his contributions and his unique
character.
The 2012 annual IPOS Symposium was held in November with
the theme “Low frequency photonics: Bridging the gap”. As in
previous years, this meeting attracted numerous high profile
international and national speakers and was well attended.
Prof. Mary O’Kane, NSW Chief Scientist and Engineer, opened
the meeting as she has done in previous years. Highlights of
this meeting included various exciting presentations on topics
ranging from microwave photonics (Prof. Jose Capmany) to
midinfrared photonics (Prof. Laurie Faraone) and presentations
that addressed applications of novel photonic instruments to
next generation astronomy.
The 2013 IPOS Symposium was replaced by the CUDOS
Showcase event that was held at the Australian Technology
Park and was attended by 300 people. This event promoted
CUDOS technology but was more generally a celebration of

currently working for the Faculty of Science on developing
a new postgraduate course on entrepreneurship and spends
one day a week working with the CUDOS team on related
training and providing strategic advice on commercialisation.
IPOS researchers were successful in securing significant
grant income. A highlight for 2012-2013 was the many
fellowships, discovery projects and major infrastructure
grants. In particular, our early career researchers have been
very successful in securing fellowships through the DECRA
scheme.
2014 promises to be another stellar year as we build on all
of this positive momentum and achievements. The next
few years will be very exciting with the opening of the AIN
building and new opportunities for interdisciplinary programs,
particularly with the Charles Perkins Centre. I hope you
enjoy reading this report. I thank Vera Brinkel and Alex
Argyros for their efforts in preparing it.
IPOS has seen major research success in different areas that
are highlighted in this report. Some important new initiatives
include the new postdoc position which is jointly funded by
AAO and CUDOS and establishes a new collaborative project
that spans across IPOS, SIFA and AAO towards developing
nanoscale photonic devices for next generation astronomical
applications.
In other news IPOS researchers have been recognized for
their achievements.
Prof. Ross McPhedran announced his retirement from the
School of Physics and has been appointed as Emeritus
Professor. It seems Ross is certainly not slowing down
and continues to travel the world and spend time with his
collaborators. We were thrilled to celebrate Ross’s career
achievements at an event in early 2014 which was combined
with the retirement celebration of Prof. Lindsay Botten, who
retired from UTS; Lindsay is a long standing collaborator with
the IPOS team at the University of Sydney.
Prof. Robert Minasian has retired from the School of
Electrical and Information Engineering and also takes the
new role as Emeritus Professor. Robert has stepped down
as a member of the IPOS Executive and has been replaced
by A/Prof. Xiaoke Yi. We congratulate Robert for his
appointment at Emeritus Professor and wish him the best
for his retirement although we expect him to continue to be
active and we look forward to working with Xiaoke.
Prof. Joss Bland-Hawthorn continues to achieve major
success for his stellar contributions and has been recognized
with Fellow of the Optical Society of America and Fellow of
the Australian Academy of Science. Congratulations to Joss
for these impressive achievements. A/Prof. Alex Argyros
was recognized with a Tall Poppy Prize. A/Prof. Xiaoke Yi
has established a strong international profile for her work
in microwave photonics. Recently she secured funds from
DSTO for a new project on photonic signal processing.
Congratulations to Xiaoke.
We were pleased to welcome A/Prof. Maryanne Large back

TRAINING COURSES IN FIBRE FABRICATION
IPOS, in conjunction with ANFF OptoFab ran two training
courses on optical fibre drawing, specifically focussing on
the fabrication of microstructured polymer optical fibres
(mPOF). The courses ran for a week each, in May and
September 2013, and covered all aspects of preform and
fibre fabrication, with a hands-on focus so the participants
could get direct experience. The participants also attended
lectures covering various relevant topics, such as the
rheology of fibre drawing, and the physics governing the
guidance of light in these microstructured optical fibres.
The first course was attended by two researchers from
the University of the Basque Country, Spain, and two local
students. The second was attended by two researchers from
the Multimedia University, Malaysia, and researchers from
the University of Baghdad, Iraq, Beijing Jiaotong University,
China, and Harbin Engineering University, China, and one
local student. The course was taught by IPOS researchers
A/Prof. Alexander Argyros, Dr Richard Lwin, Dr Sergio LeonSaval, A/Prof. Boris Kuhlmey and Dr Alessandro Tuniz.

IPOS STUDENT CONFERENCE
On the 12th of June 2013 IPOS held its first Student
Conference, in order to bring together the students from the
various groups that comprise IPOS, to share ideas and find
out more about each other’s research area, they being the
ones who will make “Discoveries for the next generation” the theme of the conference.
Students gave 20 minute talks in a relaxed and refreshing
atmosphere of peers, and the day consisted of nine speakers
spanning from Astrophotonics, Chemistry, Quantum Physics
to Integrated photonics. IPOS awarded a prize of $150 to
the best speaker, as voted by conference attendees, and
the winner was Matthew Collins (PhD Physics - CUDOS)
who gave an excellent talk about “Building the ideal single
photon source”. Second and third place was awarded to
Mitchell Quinn (PhD Chemistry) and Sam Richards (PhD
Physics - Astrophotonics). All the students’ talks were
very professional and of a very high standard. Overall, the
conference served well as an opportunity for the students to
discuss and exchange their ideas and possibilities for future
collaborations. The general feedback from the students was
positive, and they were surprised by the amount of similar
research that was going on in different faculties – which
they became more aware of through this conference. The
IPOS Student Conference was of great value to the students
and congratulations goes to the organisers Tomonori Hu,
Andrew Danos, Rowan MacQueen, and Clare Galvin for a job
well done.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS - SUPER-RESOLVED
HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGING

of a hyperspectral image of the same (right) over the 0.2-0.9 THz range. The four
substances appearing as white (A, air), magenta (B, lactose), red (C, PDPA) and black
(D, PMMA) can be identified from their spectra.
A/PROF ALEXANDER ARGYROS
Hyperspectral imaging describes an image in which spectral
information is retained, and each pixel represents a spectrum
rather than an intensity value. This is an information rich
tool for both research and many applications as spectral
signatures can be used to identify and quantify various
substances. Whilst we do this to some extent automatically
with our colour vision, there is interest in utilising
hyperspectral imaging in the mid-infrared and THz frequency
ranges (wavelengths of several microns to several mm) as
this range is rich in spectral fingerprints arising from bond
vibrations, molecular conformations and inter-molecular
interactions.
THz time domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) is now a standard
spectroscopy technique that can be combined with raster
scanning to produce hyperspectral images. In our work
we developed flexible low-loss THz waveguides based on
hollow dielectric waveguides (Opt. Express, 2013), and
demonstrated these as imaging probes which are scanned
across an object to form an image (JLT, 2014). This is more
practical than moving the object or the entire THz system as
is usual.
Imaging at these longer wavelengths however can be limited
by the resolution. The diffraction limit dictates that resolution
is approximately half a wavelength, which becomes
problematic when small objects need to be seen with long
wavelengths. Here, we used fibre drawing techniques to
produce metamaterial hyperlenses based on wire array
metamaterials. Such wire arrays are highly anisotropic

(conducting in one direction and dielectric in another),
greatly affecting the propagation of electromagnetic waves
through them (Adv. Opt. Mat., 2013). In particular, waves
may propagate without diffracting, meaning the diffraction
limit no longer applies, and near field information from an
object will propagate and can be magnified into the far field.
Using such a magnifying hyperlens we have demonstrated
resolution and focusing to 30 times smaller than the
wavelength in the low-THz range (Nat. Comms., 2013).
The hyperspectral imaging and hyperlenses are recent major
outcomes for our THz and metamaterials group, which has
included A/Prof Boris Kuhlmey, Prof Simon Fleming, Dr
Alessandro Tuniz, Dr Richard Lwin, Dr Shaghik Atakaramians,
Dr Leon Poladian, Dr Martijn de Sterke, Damian Ireland,
Neetesh Singh, Rachael Fulcher, Juliano Hayashi, and visiting
students Valerio Setti, Osama Naman, Wenliang Lu and
Ahmed Al-Chalaby. Our work continues in investigating the
fabrication of hyperlenses on smaller scales, to increase the
spatial resolution and the spectral range over which we can
perform such super-resolved hyperspectral imaging, and its
applications to biomedical imaging.

PROF. ROBERT MINASIAN, FIEEE FOSA
The Fibre-optics and Photonics Laboratory (FPL) specialises in
research into advanced optical techniques for photonic signal
processing, microwave photonics, optical communications, nonlinear
fibre optics, optically-controlled phased arrays, and terahertz/
gigahertz photonics in communication and radar systems. Our
research into photonic signal processing explores new, powerful
paradigms for processing high bandwidth signals. This approach
allows direct processing of high-frequency signals that are already
in the optical domain, and has applications to radar, radio over fibre,
defence, and radio astronomy arrays.
Filtering is a key signal processing function in many optical-wireless
system applications. We have obtained a new switchable microwave
photonic filter based on a novel spectrum slicing technique.
The processor enables programmable multi-tap generation with
general transfer function characteristics and offers tunability,
reconfigurabiliy, and switchability, Fig.1. We have also obtained a
simple microwave photonic processor structure with single passband
response, and widely tunable capability. It is based on the new
principle of shifted dispersion-induced radio-frequency (RF) fading
where a spectral response equivalent to the curve of the dispersioninduced RF fading that is shifted from the conventional baseband
location to high frequencies. Therefore, an equivalent single
passband is formed without the requirement of the conventional
tap coefficients. Experimental results have verified the structure
and demonstrated a continuously tunable microwave filter exhibiting
shape invariance and a single passband, Fig. 2.
We have proposed a novel method for designing high channel-count
fibre Bragg gratings. The proposed method utilizes tailored group
delay to obtain a more even distribution of the refractive index
modulation. This approach results in the reduction of the maximum
refractive index modulation to physically realizable levels. The
maximum index modulation reduction factors are all greater than
5.5. This is a significant improvement compared with previously
reported results. Numerical results show that the thus designed high
channel-count FBG filters exhibit superior characteristics including
30 dB channel isolation, a flat-top and almost 100% reflectivity in
each channel. We have also investigated the existence and stability
of gap solitons in nonuniform dual-core Bragg gratings. It is found
that in certain parameter ranges the gap solitons develop sidelobes.
For the first time, we have obtained exact analytical expressions for
the sidelobes.
Photonic microwave mixers bring advantages of extremely wide
bandwidth of operation, near infinite isolation between the RF and
the LO ports, and EMI immunity. However, conventional microwave
photonic mixer structures suffer from very low conversion efficiency.
We have obtained a new microwave photonic mixer structure that
solves this problem is. It is based on using the inherent frequency
selectivity of the stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) loss spectrum
to suppress the optical carrier so as to enable high RF signal and LO
sidebands to be incident onto the photodetector, thus increasing the
conversion efficiency. The measured SBS based mixer conversion
efficiency results in Fig. 3 have demonstrated an extremely wide
bandwidth operation of 0.2 to 20 GHz, and a large conversion
efficiency improvement of over 26 dB in comparison to the
conventional microwave photonic mixer structure.

DR STEFANO PALOMBA
Fast transfer and processing of information are crucial to our
modern society. They are mostly carried out by a combination of
electronics, for processing the information and converting the
outcome into light signals, and photonics, for transmitting those
light signals over long distances via optical fibres. However,
these traditional roles are not enough to fulfil the increasing
demands for more and more information. Electronics equipment
has become increasingly the bottleneck because of its bulkiness,
its high power dissipation and consumption, its slow processing
capabilities, and its vulnerability to electromagnetic interference.
Light-based devices are taking over some of its tasks such as
the transfer of information between different circuit boards in
large computers (interconnects), and the on-chip processing of
information, rather than just its transfer. Photonics is attractive
because photonic devices can respond very rapidly, are
immune to electromagnetic interference, have very low power
dissipation, and allow for parallel processing. Being able to
take over some tasks from electronics requires light to interact
with itself, which does not happen at low light intensities. If
the light intensity in an appropriate material becomes high
enough, it interacts with itself, generating, for instance, new
colours (frequencies). These nonlinear phenomena are thus light
intensity dependent.
Nonlinear optical effects are very weak. Two approaches have
been explored to exploit substantial nonlinear phenomena:
(i) transparent materials like glasses or semiconductors
(photonics), which cannot compress light more than half a
wavelength and thus require long propagation distances, leading

The Nanophotonics and Plasmonics Advancement Lab (NPAL)
explores, through modelling and experiment, an alternative
approach which combines the best characteristics of metals
and dielectrics into a hybrid structure, which exhibits high light
intensities, moderate losses and on-chip compatibility. Since the
basic structure of every on-chip photonic device is a waveguide,
our basic hybrid structure is a waveguide made of a nonlinear
dielectric material (core), sandwiched between a metallic layer
(plasmonic structure) and another dielectric material (Fig. 1 and
Fig. 2a). We call this a hybrid plasmonic waveguide (HPWG).
We will develop a Hybrid plasmonic micro-cavity (HPµC), which
will be the first of a new generation of on-chip hybrid plasmonic
multi-wavelength coherent sources for telecommunication,
precision optical frequency metrology (i.e. optical clocks),
optical interconnects, highly precise sensing, spectroscopy and
quantum information. Fig. 2b shows the operating principle
of the HPµC, in which a single input wavelength generates a
precisely separated comb of new wavelengths.

PHONONICS ON-CHIP BRILLOUIN FREQUENCY COMBS
DR IRINA KABAKOVA
Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is one of the strongest
nonlinear effects in optical fibers and has a range of applications in
single processing, high coherence lasers and microwave photonics.
SBS is based on photon-phonon interaction, in which strong
optical pump coherently scatters from moving density fluctuations
(acoustic phonons) giving rise to a frequency-shifted Stokes signal.
The recent achievements of nonlinear optical phononics group,
which is run under the umbrella of CUDOS and IPOS, demonstrated
great potential of chalcogenide integrated platform for harnessing
optoacoustic interactions in a small-footprint devices. In 2011, it
was found that a few centimetre-long chalcogenide rib waveguides
exhibit Brillouin gain stronger than hundred meters of the silica fiber.
In 2012-2013 several functions based on SBS in chalcogenide rib
waveguides have been demonstrated: single- and multiple frequency
lasing, slow and fast light regimes, microwave tunable filtering and
dynamic gratings.
Currently, a particular interest is attracted towards the development
of Brillouin frequency combs as a promising technology for
integrated high-frequency picosecond pulse sources. Such combs
can be produced from a relatively cheap, continuous wave laser by
applying cascading of SBS process. Cascading occurs when the
input pump power marginally exceeds the Brillouin threshold, so that
the first Stokes wave is strong enough to initiate SBS process itself.
Cascading SBS on-chip demands high input powers and, in many
instances, is impractical due to the power-handling limitation of
chalcogenide chips. However, the Brillouin power threshold can
be reduced by many folds providing a distribute feedback for
Fig. 1: Basic principle of the frequency comb generation in a chalcogenide rib

broad comb at the waveguide output. A Bragg grating, inscribed inside the waveguide,

periodic structure, resonant with several Stokes waves, and a high
Brillouin gain medium can be promising for low-power Brillouin comb

PROF. MARTIJN DE STERKE
The search for a ubiquitous, inexpensive, and non-polluting
source of energy is one of the major research challenges of
our times. Solar energy is a promising candidate, but its cost
per Watt generated is high compared to that of conventional
fuels. A key contribution to the cost is that of the silicon
which is used to absorb the sunlight. Though silicon is almost
universally used in solar cells, it actually does not absorb
sunlight particularly well. For this reason traditional solar cells
use thick silicon films (approximately 50 μm). One of the
challenges in solar energy research is to reduce the silicon
thickness by an order of magnitude, while still absorbing
most of the sunlight.
We have analysed the absorption of arrays of nanowires.
These wires are typically a few micrometers long, have a
diameter of 100-200 nm and are spaced a several hundred
micrometers apart. Figure 1 shows a schematic of such
an array. Remarkably, if carefully tailored, these structures
can absorb more sunlight than uniform thin films of the
same thickness, which contain much more silicon. The
reason is that a nanowire acts as a resonator for incoming
light of some wavelength, increasing the absorption at
that particular wavelength. While standard arrays consist
of identical nanowires which are arranged in a periodic
fashion, we evaluated the effect of variations in both their
diameters and their positions, both of which can increase the
absorption.
If different nanowires have different diameters, then each
nanowire resonates with a different part of the solar
spectrum, enhancing the solar absorption at a number
of different wavelengths, rather than just at a single one.
This is illustrated in Fig. 2 which shows the absorption
versus wavelength for five different nanowire arrays. The
four dashed and dotted curves correspond to uniform
arrays in which the nanowires have diameters of 120, 140,
210, 250 nm. Each of these exhibits enhanced absorption
for a wavelength range of 100 nm. In contrast, an array
which incorporates all four of these nanowires (see inset)
exhibits strong absorption over a much wider wavelength
range (solid curve). The absorption decreases at longer
wavelengths since the intrinsic silicon absorption is very low
there.
If the positions of the nanowires can vary then it is inevitable
that structures arise in which two or more nanowires are
clustered together. Such clusters have their own resonances
which increase the absorption. This is illustrated in Fig. 3
which shows absorption versus wavelength for increased
degrees of clustering (as quantified by the parameter l). As
in Fig. 2 in all cases the quantity of silicon is the same. While
the absorption increases with clustering, the effect is not as
strong as for variations in the nanowire diameter.
Though studies like these are useful and necessary, many
other aspects need to be considered before nanowire arrays
are used in large scale, solar cell applications.

PROF. JOSS BLAND-HAWTHORN
This has been an interesting year for astrophotonics in part
because of the wider use of photonic lanterns that arose
from this field. Sergio Leon-Saval explored lanterns for
telecommunications systems through separate collaborations
with Nick Fontaine (Alcatel Lucent Bell Labs) and Joel
Carpenter (CUDOS), which led to several postdeadline
papers at major optical conferences such as ECOC, FIO,
OFC. PhD Chris Betters demonstrated the revolutionary
PIMMS concept in a paper that drew special praise from
an anonymous referee for its breathtaking originality and
execution. We propose to repeat the balloon flight of 2012
with an array of these new devices. Furthermore, this year
also saw the first on-sky demonstration of this technology at
the UKST telescope at Siding Spring Observatory.
In recent years, numerous papers describe the use of the
orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light. This concept
has been extensively studied and simulated in a laboratory
setting. So why do we care? This year, researchers from the
University of Padova took the first step towards detecting
celestial OAM. They claim that 17% of the total power one
particular star is from OAM specifically. But is the OAM
power due to the atmosphere or an instrumental artefact?
Can it really be intrinsic to the star or the star’s environs?
Our goal is to repeat the measurement and to understand it.
In collaboration with Gabriel Molina-Terriza (Macquarie
University), PhD Richard Neo is developing a telescopemounted instrument to measure OAM states. We are
presently calibrating the instrumental and environmental
(turbulent) effects on the OAM content of light. Our first
problem is to extend OAM measurement from a narrow
band (<10nm) to a broader band (~100 nm) to ensure we
get enough signal from faint celestial sources. Richard Neo’s
initial work uses a spatial light modulator to compensate for
the generation of spurious OAM modes due to aberrations
along the optical path (manifested as a ‘splitting’ of higher
order singularities in a beam of OAM l ≥2). The compensation
scheme and its results are shown in Fig. 2.

modulator (SLM). (b) l=2 Laguerre-Gauss mode (b) prior to compensation and (c) after
compensation. The applied compensation reforms the central singularity, previously
split by aberrations.
Furthermore, Honours student Anna Zovaro demonstrated
that acrylic paint applied to glass slides has the same
structure function as turbulent seeing. We can use these
slides to investigate whether turbulence can impose or
suppress OAM in a beam.

ARC CENTRES OF EXCELLENCE (A SCHEME FUNDED
UNDER THE ARC NATIONAL COMPETITIVE GRANTS
PROGRAM)
CE110001018
CUDOS (CENTRE FOR ULTRAHIGH BANDWIDTH
DEVICES FOR OPTICAL SYSTEMS)
2012 - 2013
During 2012 and 2013 CUDOS made substantial progress
towards achieving several significant milestones along its
seven-year path; delivering internationally-competitive
research outcomes through strong local and international
collaborations, exploring opportunities to add value to its
research outcomes through commercialisation, and engaging
actively with the broader community.
The Centre either met or exceeded its target key
performance indicators for research in high impact
journals (Nature photonics, Nature Communications and
Nature Materials, Physical Review Letters, and Advanced
Materials, to name a few) and post-deadline presentations.
In 2013 CUDOS published 77 papers in (A/A*) journals and
scored 12 post deadline presentations. CUDOS personnel
delivered over 88 international plenary, keynote and invited
presentations, 77 visits to overseas labs were undertaken
and the centre hosted over 30 visiting scholars from around
the world.
To further validate the quality of its published research,
CUDOS sought additional peer review by establishing
a scientific advisory committee of four internationally
respected experts to review research achievements against
international progress. Professor David Miller of Stanford
University accepted the role of chair and is to be joined
by Emeritus Professor Hans Bachor of the ANU, Dr Igal
Brenner of Sandia National Laboratories, and Professor
Costas Soukoulis of Iowa State University. The committee
is to attend, observe and evaluate the Centre at its Annual
Workshop in February 2014. [Stop Press: June 2014 The Centre has received the committee’s report which
recognises the outstanding achievements of CUDOS and
the calibre and quality of staff and students: “CUDOS has
convincingly established itself in optics as the major centre
in Australia and one of the major centres internationally, and
continues to justify that reputation.” The report also makes
constructive observations and recommendations that will
influence the direction the centre takes in the coming years].
The Centre’s goals are focused not just on scientific
excellence but on links with industry and the community.
During 2013 significant steps were taken in this direction.
Several areas of commercial development are in progress,
with substantial patent activity (ten patent applications filed)
in quantum photonics, mid infrared and OFDM technologies.
Substantial resources were also invested in the delivery of a
‘Photonics Showcase’ at which prototypes of technologies
developed in the Flagship projects were demonstrated to
the Centre’s peers and to prospective commercial partners.
These included a quantum-based generator of random
numbers, a laser source of mid-infrared light for sensing, a
3D nano-printer, and photonic filters for applications from
seeing through haze to descrambling microwave signals. The
CUDOS Photonics Showcase, Photonics and Optics: Pivotal
technologies for 21st century Australia, held at the Australian
Technology Park on 22 November 2013, was attended by
280 people drawn from industry, the education sector as
well as from research groups, including 120 CUDOS staff
and students. Sydney-based groups in CSIRO, DSTO, ANFF,
and local company Finisar were also invited to exhibit their
technology capabilities, products, and services. In addition
to showcasing commercialisation-ready technologies the
Showcase was the platform to launch two well-received
outreach initiatives: the Optics Discovery Kit, which targeted
secondary school science teachers and the “Own It!” careers
video http://www.cudos.org.au/outreach/media.shtml which
profiles a number of CUDOS graduates, their skills, and the
wide range of career choices they have made.
The feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive;
buoyed by this support, the Centre will exhibit its commercial
prototypes at the 2014 International Conference on Lasers
and Electro Optics (CLEO) in San Jose in June 2014.
Of course the CUDOS Annual Workshop is one of the
signature achievements of the Centre, representing a key
element in its strategy of building strong collaborative links
across the seven participating Australian universities and
our local and international partner organisations. The 2012
Workshop was held in Port Stephens, NSW and in 2013
the centre went to Philip Island, Victoria. With over 150
attendees, including the majority of the centre’s PIs, these
workshops are larger in size than all but the most significant
Australian conferences. Their value was attested by one of

The achievements of CUDOS researchers and students
based at Sydney University were again recognised
in 2012 & 2013. Prof Ben Eggleton received an ARC
Laureate Fellowship to further his research in the area
of Nonlinear optical phononics: Harnessing sound and
light in nonlinear nanoscale circuits. Dr Jochen Schröder
with Dr Michaël Roelens from Finisar Australia, a former
researcher at CUDOS, were finalists in the Eureka Prize
for Commercialisation of Innovation 2013. Prof Martijn de
Sterke was appointed Chair of the Board of Editors of the
OSA. Students Matt Collins was awarded Best presentation,
Nonlinear Optics Conference, Hawaii 2013 and the Wanda
Henry Prize at ACOFT 2012 was won by Stephanie Crawford.
Looking forward, in mid 2014 CUDOS will be reviewed by
the ARC to assess its performance against “the Scheme
objectives outlined in the Funding Rules and the specific
Centre objectives as set out in the Centre Proposal, and the
specific performance targets or milestones in the Centre
Proposal and in the Funding Agreement.” In advance of this,
the Centre is conducting its own review of progress over the
last three years and asking itself “how have we performed
against the targets we set for ourselves in 2011?”

time efficient tools for the detection of infectious diseases,
cancers, allergies and auto-immune diseases. The goal
is to increase the sensitivity of these tests by reducing
background noise that has been a feature of the commonly
used ELISA technology. This will be achieved by developing
a novel optical integrated waveguide array supporting a
large range of distributed tests, including several based
on a novel multi-colour detection scheme. This massively
parallel approach will underpin a new generation of low-cost,
efficient diagnostic tests.

in optical spectra, structural relaxation and viscous flow
is used to optimise the thermal and optical resistance of
glass technologies in the all-critical industrial 1000 to 1200

Understanding the origins of the Earth and our Solar System
comprises one of the landmark challenges for contemporary
astronomy. This project will commission the VAMPIRES
instrument which will open a unique window upon planetary
nurseries around distant stars. These dusty disks will be
perturbed by any newborn planets orbiting within causing
several subtle signatures which our instrument is designed
to read. Such data will make a critical contribution to
our understanding of planetary assembly. Revealing the
primordial state, before the onset of structural changes as
the system evolves, informs expectations for exoplanetary
system architecture and for the chance that life is harboured
around distant stars.

Exploitation of ‘smart materials’ is a major opportunity for
21st century Australian manufacturing if cost effective bulk
production is available. Metamaterials are ideal building
blocks for such new-age materials, being dielectric/metal
composites structured on sub-wavelength dimensions,
offering diverse properties unavailable in natural materials.
Fibre drawing is a proven mass-production technology
for translating the structure of a (macroscale) preform to
microscale and has recently been applied it to fabricate
microscale metamaterials. By overcoming fundamental
instabilities, this project will transform the technique
to manufacture nanoscale structured composites and
demonstrate practical metamaterial-based optical devices
with unique properties.

Universal optical transmitter for rapid prototyping and
system emulation: This Project proposes an integrated, multiuser facility for the generation of extremely wide-bandwidth
optical communication signals that will help to dramatically
improve the data-handling capability of optical fibres and
improve the energy efficiency of optical communication
networks. The project will modulate the input of an advanced
optical transmitter with multi-level, multi-phase signals
at multi-Gb/s rates to generate ‘higher-order’ modulation
formats at multi- terra bits per second rates including
orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM), Nyquistwavelength-division multiplexing (WDM), regular WDM
and Optical Time-Division Multiplexing (OTDM). With this
transmitter the project will investigate advanced optical
communications concepts including ‘constellations’ of phase
and intensity, limitations of nonlinearity in optical fibres,
signal regeneration, and all-optical routing.

the Faculties of Science and Engineering. Many of these
laboratories are dedicated to specific projects or groups of
similar projects managed by individual senior researchers.
Some of the more major experimental laboratories are
research facilities that serve a wide range of projects within
IPOS.
Some facilities have been acquired or are supported through
schemes such as the Australian National Fabrication Facility
(ANFF) with the specific intent of making them available to
the wider Australian research community.
The laboratory is also equipped with advanced optical
signal test and measurement equipment, including high
resolution optical spectrum analyzers and a state of the
art oscilloscope with a realtime sampling rate of 160 Giga
samples per second to receive broadband optical signals
operating near the limits of high speed opto-electronics. This
advanced facility provides the capability to investigate novel
optical devices and signal processing techniques to address
the physical limits on higher bit rate data transmission in
optical fibre networks spanning the globe.

dispersion.
TERABIT LAB
FEMTOSECOND SUPERCONTINUUM PULSE FACILITY
The Terabit per second optical communication test bed at
IPOS is a world class facility underpinning the research of
staff and students (both PhD and undergraduate) in the
field of optical signal processing for high capacity data
transmission. It employs lasers and state of the art electrical
signal generators and electro-optic modulators for generating
optical signals with extreme bit rates exceeding 1 Terabit per
second. It also contains thousands of kilometres of optical
fibre for exploring the fundamental limits of long distance
propagation. High speed optical receivers using advanced
coherent detection techniques are used to evaluate optical
signals encoded with advanced data encoding formats
including polarization multiplexing.
The femtosecond pulse facility provides invaluable support to
the many areas of photonics research. Eighty fs pulses from
a mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser are used to generate the
nonlinear spectral broadening, and a specialized extended

BANDWIDTH FOUNDRY
A suite of optical lithography tools is operated by the
Bandwidth Foundry, a wholly owned subsidiary of the
University of Sydney.
MID-IR FACILITY
The Mid-infrared Photonics facility contains a wide variety
of laser sources that provide a broad range of mid-infrared
wavelengths in continuous wave and pulsed form. The high
peak power optical parametric amplifier source is capable
of producing 160 fs pulses between 1 μm and 4 μm, at
80 MHz repetition rate. The laser is complimented with a
triple-grating spectrometer in combination with a variety of
photodiodes.This facility can now boast the supply of two
quantum cascade lasers that emit centre wavelengths of 4
μm and 5 μm and each tuneable over >200 nm bandwidth.
The research into high power mid-infrared fibre laser sources
also provides access to sources currently not available
commercially, such as tunable holmium-doped fluoride fibre
lasers that provide the facility with >1 W of laser radiation
tuneable between 2.83 μm and 2.9 μm.
The facility contains a variety of spectrometers and
detectors. Two dedicated mid-infrared spectrometers
based on diffraction grating monochromators allow the
measurement of spectra out to 14 μm. A range of cooled
photodiodes allows the measurement of both the spectral
and temporal properties of mid-infrared light. A Yokogawa
optical spectrum analyser allows the high resolution and high
sensitivity detection of light in the 1.2 μm to 2.4 μm region.

While the AIN building will be a resource for the country
and for the university, it will benefit IPOS researchers in
particular: not only will it provide additional laboratory
space, the clean room will, for the first time, allow IPOS
researchers to fabricate nanophotonic devices in their own
facility, located close to the research labs. Teaching in the
AIN building is scheduled to commence in July 2014, and the
research spaces will come on-line in the months after that.
