National Facility for Characterisation of Infrared Imaging Technologies

Systematic characterisation and prototyping of two-dimensional (2D) imaging arrays is a vital step in showcasing and realising Australia's innovation and research investment in photodetector technologies. This project aims to establish a state-of-the-art facility for 2D infrared sensor array testing and prototyping, which will strengthen and expand Australiaâ™s competitive advantage in this area, and will enable new research on 2D imaging arrays, such as pixel yield and cross-talk, device reliability physics, failure mechanisms, noise and long-term stability. The proposed facility will enable the demonstration of Australia's innovative imaging technologies, thus serving to attract interest from industry both in Australia and internationally.
