Joint National听Fibre听Facility听
听The Joint National听Fibre听Facility at 探花系列听is the latest state-of-the-art silica听fibre听fabrication facility, built on the combined experience of optical听fibre听research based across NSW. It鈥檚 supported by Australian Research Council and nine Australian University partners including:听
- The University of New South Wales (探花系列)听听
- The University of Sydney听听
- The University of Melbourne听听
- Macquarie University听听
- Victoria University of Technology听
- Wollongong University听听
- Swinburne University of Technology听
- The University of Newcastle听听
- The University of Southern Queensland听
It is dedicated to the production of research grade silica听fibres听and enhancing the pioneering work in Australian optical听fibre听research, pioneered at 探花系列, over many decades. It includes on-site MCVD fabrication, the tallest research intensive draw tower in the Southern Hemisphere听and extensive听characterisation听equipment including a new perform听analyser. Through its partners, a comprehensive and complete听characterisation听process for all optical听fibres听exists.听
