Professor Andre Luiten appointed as IPAS Director

Introduction from the Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President (Research)

The Research Institutes at the University of Adelaide bring together world-leading researchers, supported by high-quality infrastructure and an innovative culture, to tackle State and National Research Priorities. The multi-disciplinary focus of the Institutes provides a collaborative platform for research partnerships across the University, and with other organisations.

The IPAS vision is to pursue a transdisciplinary approach that brings together experimental physicists, chemists, material scientists, biologists, experimentally driven theoretical scientists and medical researchers. These researchers are working together to create new sensing and measurement technologies in order to solve some key societal challenges. These new technologies have the potential to change the questions scientists can ask, stimulate the creation of new commercial ventures, and create a new profession of transdisciplinary problem-solvers.

IPAS is continuing to grow from strength to strength, as is demonstrated by its spawning of the new ARC Centre of Excellence for Nanoscale BioPhotonics, and the Institute’s continuing growth in research income and outputs, facilities and commercialisation successes. This Report provides a glimpse of the immense scope and quality of research undertaken within IPAS throughout 2014.

Professor Mike Brooks Deputy Vice-Chancellor & Vice-President (Research)

Report from the Board Chair

2014 was the fifth year of operation for IPAS and the Institute continues to grow on its record of research excellence. The 167 peer-reviewed journals published during 2014 are evidence of a sustained, high-quality research output by IPAS members.

I am always delighted when members of the Institute receive recognition. Congratulations to Prof Tanya Monro, Prof Andre Luiten, Prof Peter Hoffmann, Dr Stephen Warren-Smith, Dr Jiangbo (Tim) Zhao and Dr Erik Schartner on being acknowledged for their research achievements.

The South Australian State Government has also been key to our success through their continued support, and I acknowledge and thank them. The Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) have continued to provide significant support for a range of defence-related projects and I would like to thank them for their ongoing support.

In August the Institute gained a new Director, Prof Andre Luiten. I would like to thank the outgoing Director, Prof Tanya Monro, for her leadership in establishing IPAS and wish her all the best in her new role as the Deputy Vice Chancellor Research and Innovation at the University of South Australia.

I would like to acknowledge and thank my fellow members of the IPAS Board, IPAS Director Prof Andre Luiten, the IPAS Professional Team, and the researchers and staff for their invaluable contributions.

Mr Joe Flynn IPAS Chairman

IPAS now has an annual grant income over $12M

Message from The Director

Prof Tanya Monro, IPAS Director, January to August 2014

The Institute for Photonics and Advanced Sensing (IPAS) was formally launched on Friday 13 November 2009. Over the last five years, the Institute’s focus has been on creating high impact research, world leading infrastructure, and developing a dynamic transdisciplinary team with links with industry. This strategy has produced outstanding results - IPAS now has nearly 200 researchers, predominantly co-located in the purpose-built $100M The Braggs building, with an annual grant income over $12M, and working with over 20 companies. None of this could have been achieved without the buy-in of our research members to this vision and an amazing professional staff team.

The culmination of this effort, and recognition of our achievements, came with the award of the new $38M ARC Centre of Excellence for Nanoscale BioPhotonics (CNBP). This new Centre provides extraordinary opportunities for researchers to work in leading international and national teams on tangible challenges emerging in neuroscience, reproductive biology and cardiology.

IPAS has created a community and a culture of researchers with a “can do” attitude. We have shown that it is possible to do the highest quality fundamental result while partnering effectively with industry. With the recent move into the ‘accelerator’ facilities in The Braggs, a strong and growing global reputation, the critical mass of expertise, projects and equipment, and a strategic plan co-created by our members, IPAS is positioned for successful into the future.

Professor Tanya Monro, IPAS Director

Message from The Director

Prof Andre Luiten, IPAS Director, August to December 2014

On 11 August, I was thrilled to be appointed IPAS Director and build on the fantastic legacy of Prof Tanya Monro. My appointment has provided the opportunity for IPAS to appoint a new Deputy Director and I had the great pleasure in announcing A/Prof Heike Ebendorff-Heidepriem as Deputy Director alongside Prof Peter Hoffmann. Heike leads the critical glass and fibre research within the Institute.

During the last 5 years IPAS has focused on transdisciplinary opportunities, research excellence, and commercial engagement. The next phase for IPAS is the consolidation, broadening and strengthening of these three foundational pillars that make IPAS special. It is my goal to foster the environment and culture in which great science and high impact research can truly thrive. At the same time we are developing strategies for researchers to push their research breakthroughs into real-world products - a path that requires strong engagement with industry.

It is rare for any important discovery to lie within a single academic discipline and thus an Institute that covers the full spectrum from fundamental research though to applied research and onto translational products will naturally draw strength from a transdisciplinary approach.

I look forward to continuing to support IPAS members to achieve their research aspirations and work together to create a dynamic, transparent and collaborative research Institute.

Professor Andre Luiten, IPAS Director

The high-level research at IPAS creates a very stimulating work environment

The IPAS Student Experience

Myles Clark – PhD Student

The goal of my PhD project is to create a long range laser based scanner to search for methane leaks. My project is designing and building the laser and detection system. This involves solid state physics, optical engineering, laser design and construction and building the electronic control systems that govern the systems operation.

Working at IPAS gives me access to a huge range of different and complementary skills held by other researchers. We all work under one roof- so an expert to answer my next question is rarely more than a few steps away. The laser lab I work in is high tech and modern, with “James Bond” style roof hatch access to the sky, perfect for atmospheric research!

Georgina Sylvia – PhD Student

My PhD project, under the supervision of Prof Andrew Abell, has involved the development of a novel, peptide-based electrochemical metal-ion sensor.

Being a part of IPAS has allowed me to connect with a wide range of researchers and meet many interesting people. I’ve had access to specialised instrumentation and utilised transdisciplinary collaborations –allofwhichwouldn’thavebeenavailabletomeoutsideofIPAS.

The overall goal of my research is to better control electron transfer in peptides, towards the development of peptide-based Molecular Electronic devices. This work will lead to the development of sensitive, peptide-based, electrochemical metal-ion sensors with biological compatibility.

Nicolas Bourbeau Hebert – Visiting Student

As part of my Graduate Studies at the Université Laval in Canada, I was presented with the exciting opportunity to spend a year working at IPAS.

Prof Andre Luiten has enthusiastically integrated me to his group to work on the development of new spectrometers based on frequency combs. These spectrometers have diverse applications including medical diagnostics and the identification of gas leaks.

The high-level research and the vibrant atmosphere at IPAS create a very stimulating work environment. My stay in Australia has allowed me to discover a wonderful part of the world and to meet many fantastic people.

Aidan Byrne. Top Right: Dr Sanam Mustafa, CNBP Director Prof Mark Hutchinson, Ms Vicky Staikopoulos. Above: CNBP Adelaide Node members.

ARC Centre of Excellence for Nanoscale BioPhotonics

The new ARC Centre of Excellence for Nanoscale BioPhotonics (CNBP) was launched by Senator Bridget McKenzie on 21 November 2014 at the University of Adelaide. Centre Director Prof Mark Hutchinson and Chief Investigators Prof Tanya Monro, Prof Andrew Abell, Prof Steve Nicholls and A/Prof Jeremy Thompson are IPAS members. With a vision to create windows into the body, CNBP researchers are studying and manipulating nanoscale interactions between light and matter to measure and sense inside living biological systems.

The CNBP brings together physicists, material scientists, chemists, embryologists, neuroscientists and cardiologists from the University of Adelaide, Macquarie University and RMIT University with key international, national and industry partners. The emerging convergence of nanoscience and photonics offers the opportunity of using light to interrogate nanoscale domains, providing unprecedentedly localised measurements. This will allow biological scientists and clinicians to understand how single cells react to and communicate with their surroundings. This science will underpin a new generation of devices capable of probing the response of cells within individuals to environmental conditions or treatment, creating innovative and powerful new sensing platforms.

A Centre of research excellence, CNBP is a leader in nanoscale biophotonics. CNBP values ensure that alongside academic excellence, CNBP researchers embrace the growing need to communicate their research to diverse audiences, commercialise research outcomes and provide a nurturing environment to train future generations of researchers.

CNBP is a leader in nanoscale biophotonics

CNBP Case Studies:

Dr Sabrina Heng and Ms Xiaozhou (Michelle) Zhang Photoregulation of Proteases Activity in Solution and on Surfaces

We have developed a new approach to control protease activity in solution and on an optical fiber using light. This approach is based on the use of enzyme inhibitors containing a spiropyran (photoswitch) that acts as both a regulator and peptide backbone surrogate, where the component spiropyran can be reversibly photoswitched between a spiropyran isomer and a less active merocyanine isomer upon irradiation with UV and visible light respectively, both in solution and once bound to the surface of a microstructured optical fiber (MOF). This work was motivated by the fact that the ability to detect the on/off binding of a bio-ligand to a complementary surface bound receptor provides a basis of real-time sensors of wide applicability.

This is the first report on the use of a MOF to control and detect photoisomerism in proteases, with increased sensitivity while using only nanoliter sample volumes when compared to previous solution and surface-based experiments. Such a sensor will have the advantages of making multiple measurements on a single sample or in a single sampling volume without the need to change the sensor, thereby potentially extending the sensor’s useful lifetime. This is particularly significant for biological applications where sample sizes are often limited. In addition, the modular design of our inhibitors sets the scene for future studies to develop a range of inhibitors to target different proteases. This work is the result of an interdisciplinary effort, which spans the fields of synthetic chemistry, computational chemistry and optics.

Dr Sanam Mustafa Understanding Pain: Identifying a Pain Biofingerprint

Clinically, understanding pain states and their response to different drug treatments currently relies upon patient self-assessment using an arbitrary pain scale. Experimentally, the activation of signalling pathways responsible for pain are investigated by examining the presence of pro-inflammatory markers. However the presence of pro-inflammatory markers are only one aspect of pain signalling and do not give an insight into the global changes that occur during pain. In this project, we aim to characterise pain vs. no pain states on a global level. Ultimately, this will allow the effective evaluation of pain and effectiveness of pain relief therapies in patients.

RESEARCH THEME: Novel Light Sources

IPAS novel light sources research combines fundamental and applied physics to generate and deliver tailored light for medicine, national security, industrial and environmental monitoring, and fundamental physics applications.

Our world leading research includes:

• Fibreandplanarwaveguidelasers• Frequencycombs• Ultra-narrow-linewidthlasers• Fibre-basednonlineardevices• High-powersolid-statelasers• Fibre-basedsuper-continuumsources.

Real world applications for these sources include:

• High-speedandhigh-resolutionmolecularspectroscopy for trace-gas detection

• Precisionmeasurement• Laserradar• Defenceprecisiontechnologies• Laser-basedelectronicwarfaresystems• CoherentLIDARforwind-fieldmeasurements• AirbornemethanedetectionusingdifferentialabsorptionLIDAR

Fibre and Planar Waveguide Lasers

Our Fibre and Planar Waveguide Lasers research is focussed on developing and optimising new laser materials and concepts in fibre and planar waveguide lasers. Our research is driven by the challenge to develop lasers that operate in fringe regimes and possess extreme capabilities from compact architectures. Recent work has focussed on short-pulse generation (ns to fs), with applications including biophotonics, defence, mining, and surveying.

Precision Measurement

A defining feature of our technological society is a hunger for more accurate and precise measurement and sensing. Important real world applications such as: the Global Positioning System (GPS), magnetic imaging, radar, optical fibre communications and even mobile phones, all rely on developing ever more accurate and precise measurements. The Precision Measurement Group works within IPAS to build instruments to meet this technological demand. We develop and extendmeasurementplatformsofhighvaluetofundamentalphysics;withanincreasing focus on industrial, medical and defence contexts.

Nonlinear Optics

Our expertise in modelling nonlinear processes in nanoscale waveguides could provide future solutions for high-speed optical switches, laser sources and sensing architectures. The ongoing development of fundamental theory has led to new models that predict a novel ‘selfflipping of polarization states’ that are being explored via two new collaborations. We hold high hopes for some very interesting new light sources in the near future.

Solid State Lasers

Solid-state laser research at IPAS focuses on the development of low noise and high-power systems for specific applications including ultra-high precision measurement, spectroscopy, and remote sensing. World-leading achievements include the highest brightness, high power cryogenic Yb:YAG laser and pulsed Er:YAG lasers that are pumped by inexpensive laser diodes for remote sensing applications. This year we have demonstrated the shortest pulses ever achieved by an Er:YAG laser, thus enabling the development of laser-range-finder systems that replace more complicated systems based on non-linear optics.

RESEARCH THEME: Chemical and Radiation Sensing

IPAS chemical and radiation sensing research uses in-house and specialty optical fibres, extensive knowledge of optical spectroscopy and unique surface coatings to develop novel optical fibre-based sensing architectures.

We explore the limits of detection, including:

• Ultra-smallvolumesamples• Lowconcentrations• Obtainingresultsindifficulttoaccessareas.

Working with end-users and industry, we develop these sensors for monitoring water quality, corrosion, wine maturation, embryos, soil nutrients, radiation fields, fuel degradation and explosives. This research is also creating new forms of fibre-based radiation dosimeters for the medical, mining and defence industries.

IPAS radiation sensing also utilises luminescence produced by ionising radiation absorbed in environmental materials both for radiation dosimetry and as the “clock” in a wide range of collaborative luminescence dating applications with industry and academia.

Chemical Sensing

Our chemical sensing research includes:

• Dip-sensorsforhardtoaccessregionsincludinghazardousenvironments and in vivo

• Distributedsensorstoenableinformationacrossaplatform or structure

• Liquidandgassensingapproaches:fluorescence,Raman,plasmonic resonances and other spectroscopic techniques

• Analytessuccessfullysensedincludehydrogenperoxide (H2O2), aluminium ions (Al3+), free SO2, nitroaromatic explosives and metal ions.

In partnership with other IPAS researchers, we have developed new functional structure surfaces to enable advanced sensor functionality. We solve problems in collaboration with irrigation companies, defence organisations, embryologists and oenologists.

Radiation Sensing

Radiation Sensing in IPAS focuses on the development and application of new radiation dosimetry tools for both fundamental research and real-world applications, in health, defence and industry. Examples include:

• Fibre-baseddistributeddosimetersforminingandindustrialapplications• Fibre-tipsensorsforusein vivo in cancer treatment• Forensicluminescencetechniquesfordetectionofpriorexposure

to ionising radiation• Detectionandquantificationofradionuclidesforminingand

geochronology

Environmental Luminescence and Optical Dating

The IPAS Environmental Luminescence laboratory, now named “The Prescott Environmental Luminescence Laboratories”, hosts one of the most comprehensive suites of luminescence research equipment in the world. The suite includes the world’s most sensitive TL (thermoluminescence) spectrometer, a photon-counting imaging system (PCIS) developed in collaboration with ANU, state-of-the-art TL/OSL (optically-stimulated luminescence) Risø readers, fluorescence analysis facilities, and specialised apparatus for the measurement of luminescence kinetics and signal stability.

Luminescence dosimetry techniques are highly versatile: they are able to accurately measure ages from the present day back 500,000 years and quantify doses as low as a fraction of one day’s background radiation. Our research is advancing these techniques and further extending the applicability of luminescence analysis.

3D-printed dies for the extrusion of optical fibre preforms demonstrates a viable alternative to conventionally machined dies. Offers unprecedented die design flexibility for advanced fluid flow control.

Development of a method to incorporate a controlled amount of diamond nanoparticles into tellurite glass without decreasing the transmission of the host glass. Achieved by determining the chemical interactions between the nanoparticles and glass during fabrication conditions.

Collaboration with RMIT University.

Special optical fibres, made from glass with holes and slots smaller then a human hair, can be used as detectors in liquids, structures or other mediums. We have extended modelling of capillary drawing to suspended core fibres, which enables prediction of conditions to make these fibres with different structures.

RESEARCH THEME: Molecular Materials and Surfaces

IPAS research in Molecular Materials and Surfaces spans the following areas:

• Chemicalsurfacecoatings• Surfacefunctionalisationstrategies• Organicsynthesis• Molecular-basedsensors• Bioelectronics• Newmaterialsforgasstorageorseparationforrenewableenergy

applications• Platformsforcatalysis.

Our researchers include ARC Future and DECRA Fellows, with expertise ranging from fundamental chemistry to analyte-specific sensor development (an IPAS strength). Key infrastructure is available in the School of Physical Sciences, including:

• Syntheticlaboratories(wetanddry)• HighfieldNMRspectroscopyandX-raydiffractionstructure

determination• Massspectrometry• Automatedandsemi-preparativeHPLC• Time-resolvedlaserspectroscopy• Materialscharacterisationcapabilities.

Biological and Chemical Surface Functionalisation

Biological and Chemical Surface Functionalisation work at IPAS combines organic synthesis, supramolecular chemistry and surface science to functionalise the surface of a glass optical fibre and other surfaces, enabling the detection of specific chemicals and biomolecules.

New Bioactive Compounds

We design, synthesise and test inhibitors to solve clinical challenges. Our investigations concentrate on proteolytic enzymes and biotin protein ligase as associated with the development of new antibiotics. We work

to incorporate molecular ‘switches’ that when activated, mimic a key protein or peptide. Our aim is the improved treatment and diagnosis of Alzheimer’s, traumatic brain injury, cataracts and cancer.

Novel Materials Synthesis

Novel Materials Synthesis group design and synthesise nanostructured materials. Some of these compounds display novel interactions and behaviour that we exploit to develop sensors as well as for use in separation science and as platforms for catalysis.

Charge Transfer and Bioelectronics

Our Charge Transfer and Bioelectronics work focusses on the design and synthesis of peptides with specific secondary structures whose electronic properties we then theoretically and electrochemically evaluate on surfaces.

Functional Organic Materials

IPAS researchers working on ground breaking research in the area of Functional Organic Materials are developing the chemistry of ‘networked polymers’. These materials are synthesised from high symmetry building blocks linked via strong, irreversible covalent bonds. This emerging field has tremendous potential for new and more efficient catalysis platforms, sensing, storage and separation solutions.

Time-Resolved Laser Spectroscopy

Energy and charge transport in organic materials researchers at IPAS use time-resolved spectroscopic techniques to investigate energy and charge transport processes of organic photovoltaic materials. These materials, which include semiconducting polymers and organic crystals, exhibit not only the photovoltaic effect but also the abilities to sense the presence of a number of airborne chemical species. Our current work focusses on controlling the photophysical and -chemical pathways to maximise generation of charged species in these materials.

RESEARCH THEME: Biological Sensing and Medical Diagnostics

IPAS research in this Theme seeks to:

• Createmeasurementtoolstoenablenewquestionstobeaskedinbiology and medicine (this activity is driven through the ARC Centre of Excellence for Nanoscale BioPhotonics, see page 9 and 10)

• Developimprovedmedicaldiagnostictechniques,including ‘point of decision’

• Advancenextgenerationproteomicstechnologiesforcancerdiagnostics and treatment

• DiscoveranddetectbiomarkersusingTissueImagingMassSpectrometry

• Investigateproteinsandpeptidesunderpinningthedevelopmentand prevention of diseases.

Biomarker Discovery

This work investigates cancers through the identification of new biomarkers, increasing our capacity to detect, identify and quantify proteins and peptides with high sensitivity and accuracy. We use mass spectrometry and 2D gel electrophoresis combined with difference gel electrophoresis fluorescence labelling and isotopic labelling for protein identification and quantification. Driven by the need for the early diagnosis of cancer and monitoring of the disease’s progression, it also provides a better understanding of the disease at a molecular level.

Tissue Imaging Mass Spectrometry

In recent years, we have implemented and improved matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) in our laboratories. MALDI-IMS determines the spatial distribution of unknown compounds in tissue sections. Tissue sections prepared using the standard clinical pathology procedure, formalin fixed paraffin embedding (FFPE), can be used. During the last decade this technique has been developed as a powerful tool for the discovery of new markers which correlate with disease severity or metastasis as well as for the confirmation of known markers like HER2 receptor status.

Protein Structure, Function and Interactions

Research efforts are directed towards development of new approaches (primarily using mass spectrometry and complementary biophysical methods such as nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, circular dichroism, fluorescence spectroscopy, electron microscopy) to obtain insight into the 3D structure, function and interactions of macromolecules, such as proteins and DNA, important in biology.

Biosensing Platform Development

Harnessing breakthroughs from our other Themes, we create new biosensing tools for advancing biological research, and collaborate with medical researchers to enable translation to clinical applications.

New sensor architectures include:

• Small-volumein-fibrefluorescenceassays• Fibre-tipsensorsforin vivo diagnostics• Amulti-channelsensorforvirus,bacteriaandbiomarkerdetection

for gastric cancer.

Central Nervous System Nanoscale Biosensing

Our brains and spinal cords are comprised of billions of highly diverse and specialised cells working in concert, allowing us to process a multitude of conscious and unconscious pieces of information. However, we still only understand a fraction of the complexity of brain function in health, let alone how the brain changes in disease. To tackle the new frontiers in brain and behavioural research we need to ask our scientific questions of smaller and smaller numbers of cells, in very discrete brain regions. Unfortunately, the existing technologies don’t allow this. Therefore, through the use of novel nanoscale biosensors our research aims to go beyond the limits of detection imposed by current tools. With these new tools we will ask questions of the brain and spinal cord that was once thought to be science fiction.

Circulating immune cells that migrate into the “brain in pain” have been implicated as vital contributors to the creation and maintenance of pathological persistent pain. This understanding creates opportunities to intervene in the pain epidemic.

Collaboration with University of Colorado Boulder.

We studied the performances of dye doped microspheres, supporting Whispering Gallery Modes, positioned onto the tip of a microstructured optical fibre, as an in-vivo biological sensor. We show that this microsphere can be turned into a laser source, enabling improvement of the sensing performances.

RESEARCH THEME: Atmosphere, Space and High Energy Astronomy

The team has a wealth of experience in developing the technologies that underpin remote sensing. Our members contribute to international projects such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO), the High Energy Stereoscopic System (HESS) and the Pierre Auger Observatory.

Gravitational Wave Detection with LIGO

Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves, and our researchers are part of the LIGO team that is building a $300M instrument to detect them. We have developed a range of laser systems and optical sensors for advanced gravitational wave detection.

Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR)

We are developing differential absorption LIDAR (DIAL) to remotely sense chemicals in the atmosphere including CH4, water vapour sensing and SOx. We are developing coherent laser radar (CLR) systems for a range of eye-safe LIDAR applications including:

• Monitoringdustandpollutionemanatingfromminingandindustrialsites• Mappingwindspeedsforwindfarmsiteassessment• Turbinepredictionandturbulencedetectionforaerospaceapplications.

Our unique solid-state laser platforms in the near infrared (eye-safe band) and fibre lasers in the mid-infrared underpin these exciting technologies.

High-Energy Astrophysics

High-energy cosmic messengers such as gamma and cosmic rays enable us to study the processes in extreme objects like supernova explosions, pulsars and black holes. Detecting gamma and cosmic rays requires advanced techniques to filter the atmospheric background and apply atmospheric transmission. Our researchers are currently working on projects including the design of gamma ray telescopes and ultra high-energy cosmic ray detectors.

Gamma-Ray Astronomy

The High Energy Stereoscopic System (HESS) is an array of five gamma-ray telescopes in Namibia and is being used to reveal the nature of cosmic-ray and electron accelerators in our galaxy and beyond. The Adelaide team focuses on gamma-ray sources in our Milky Way galaxy and how these objects can influence its evolution. The team also leads Australia’s efforts in developing the next generation gamma-ray facility known as the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) which will be 10 times more sensitive than HESS using an array of up to 100 telescopes.

Cosmic-Ray Astronomy

The Pierre Auger Observatory (PAO) in Argentina is the world’s largest cosmic-ray detector. Cosmic-rays are the charged particles continually raining down on Earth from outer space and their origin remains a mystery. PAO is being used to measure the energies, directions and elemental composition of the highest energy cosmic-rays. The Adelaide team leads efforts in reconstructing these cosmic-ray parameters and the calibration of this data by accurately measuring the atmosphere’s properties at the PAO site.

Space and Atmospheric Physics

The atmosphere and near space environment are critical to life on earth. We use a network of radars, lidars and passive optical instruments to study the structure and dynamics of the atmosphere to validate numerical weather and climate models provided by CSIRO and BOM. We use an extensive instrument cluster located at Buckland Park Field Site to map the winds, temperature and density of the atmosphere from the ground to 90 km. We also contribute to the instrument cluster at Davis Station in Antarctica. We are continually developing new instruments and analysis techniques including the development of a powerful Rayleigh Lidar for measuring densities and temperatures in the 30 to 90 km region in collaboration with the Australian Antarctic Division and the Leibniz Institute for Atmospheric Physics in Germany, and a novel UHF radar for measuring winds and turbulence in the lowest 500 m of the atmosphere in collaboration with a local company, ATRAD Pty Ltd.

Driving the development of new research projects and directions

Pilot Project Scheme

In 2011, IPAS launched its first Pilot Project Scheme with the aim of driving the development of new research projects and directions. To be selected, projects had to demonstrate the potential to lead to external funding.

The Scheme encourages collaborative projects within and across discipline boundaries, and provides the IPAS Scientific Management Committee (SMC) with information on IPAS activities, capabilities, strengths, and opportunities to enable strategic decision-making.

In 2014, $103k of funding was allocated to IPAS members across the following seven projects:

• Suspended-core optical fibers: rewiring atom chips with light– Dr Brenton Hall, Prof Andrei Sidorov, Prof Andre Luiten

• Adding electrical conductivity to glass and fibres– A/Prof Heike EbendorffHeidepriem, Dr Shahraam Afshar

• A compact femtosecond mid-infrared laser– A/Prof David Lancaster, A/Prof Ju Han Lee, Prof David Kielpinski

• High power cryogenic femto-second laser collaboration– Prof Jesper Munch, A/Prof Peter Veitch, Dr Miftar Ganija

• Dual wavelength seeding of Er:YAG lasers for remote sensing of methane from airborne platforms–DrDavidOttaway, A/Prof Peter Veitch, Mr Myles Clark

• Identification of spoilage micro-organisms in beer using mass spectrometry profiling–DrFlorianWeiland,DrOJohanRGustafsson, Dr Stephan Meding

• Towards a light-driven, biocompatible sensor for the rapid detection of bacterial toxins–DrSabrinaHeng,DrChristopherMcDevitt, Prof James Paton, Mr Roman Kostecki

The 2013 Scheme has led to many positive outcomes including building teams who are now an integral part of the Centre of Excellence for Nanoscale BioPhotonics (CNBP), and multiple journal publications and conference talks.

IPAS members have built a significant portfolio of patents

Commercialisation

One of the key aims of IPAS is to combine research excellence with a strong industry focus and collaborative culture. The team at IPAS work closely with Adelaide Research and Innovation (ARI), the commercialisation company of the University of Adelaide, to create a culture of innovation within the Institute, foster industry-led collaborations and contract research, and to develop technology licence agreements.

The commercial objectives of IPAS are to accelerate the process of getting products to market, helping the growth of photonics and advanced sensing sectors in Australia, creating new opportunities and jobs for graduates and researchers outside traditional academic roles and securing an untied income stream to the Institute. Through their research, IPAS members have built a significant portfolio of patents.

IPAS Patented Technologies

Microstructured fibres and nanowires

Our microstructured optical fibre sensors, developed in both soft and silica glasses, allow us to measure ultra-low concentrations of chemicals in nanolitre volumes of liquids. Active IPAS programs are developing this technology for sensing a range of analytes in applications such as IVF, wine production, soil nutrient monitoring, corrosion and mineral exploration.

Gastric cancer biomarkers

Peter Hoffmann and his team have discovered a panel of biomarkers that may potentially be used to diagnose gastric cancer in humans. This technology received additional funding through the ARI Commercial Accelerator Scheme in 2014 for additional research.

Q-switched laser

Major applications for this include coherent laser radar (LIDAR) and other remote sensing applications, including gas detection. This technology is under discussion for licensing in 2015.

A new class of antibiotic

Andrew Abell and his team have patented a new class of antibiotic for treating Staph aureus infections. Further research has identified a new candidate molecule that will be researched in 2015.

Waveguide chip laser

The Waveguide laser is a new laser architecture based on waveguides written in rare earth doped fluoride glass. These lasers have achieved near-perfect beam quality lasing at 1.1 μm, 1.9 μm, 2.1 μm, and 2.9 μm with broad tunability, and are potentially the longest wavelength planar waveguide lasers ever demonstrated. The lasers are anticipated to be used in gas detection, long-range laser radar applications, free-space optical communication, medical diagnostics, laser surgery, optical pumping of longer wavelength lasers, material processing and security applications. This technology is currently in licensing negotiations with a South Australian based startup company led by the inventors of the technology.

Whispering gallery mode sensor

Our whispering gallery mode sensor comprises microspheres attached to the end of optical fibres. This kind of architecture allows very sensitive measurements to be made in vivo.

Device and method for sensing a chromatic property of foodstuff (browning sensor)

A novel browning sensor was developed by a team of researchers working at IPAS. The inventors secured IPAS Pilot Project funding in order to fund the demonstration of the sensor, and the Institute supported the inventors by funding the patenting of the sensor. The Institute is delighted that a new sensing technology developed by its researchers is being commercialised by a new start-up company led by the inventors who have licensed the technology from the University of Adelaide. Due to commercial advancements the technology has been assigned to the company.

Optical fibre radiation sensor

We have developed an optical fibre radiation dosimeter capable of instant readouts of ionising radiation and accumulated radiation doses. We are now working with oncologists to understand how this highly accurate measure of the radiation dose applied to tumours during radiotherapy can be clinically applied.

Dual wavelength pumped laser system

David Ottaway, Jesper Munch and Ori Henderson-Sapir have developed the first erbiumdoped zirconium-fluoride-based glass fibre laser operating well beyond 3 μm with significant power. This fibre laser achieved 260 mW in CW at room temperature. The use of two different wavelength pump sources allows us to take advantage of the long-lived excited states that would normally cause a bottleneck, and this enables maximum incident optical-tooptical efficiency. This technology was funded by the ARI Commercial Accelerator Scheme in 2014 to further develop the technology and is currently being evaluated by an interested third party.

Autoantibody biomarker candidates for early ovarian cancer

Peter Hoffmann, Martin Oehler and Karina Martin identified a panel of auto-antibodies which have been shown to be discriminators between early ovarian cancer and healthy/benign controls. Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death from gynaecologic malignancies in Australia. It presents at a late clinical stage in more than 80% of patients, and is associated with a 5-year survival of only 35% in this group. In contrast, the 5-year survival for patients with organ-confined stage I ovarian cancer exceeds 90%, and most patients are cured of their disease.

An optical sensor

A novel method for coating of temperature-sensitive materials has been developed to allow for rapid fabrication of probes for bio-applications. This dip coating method allows the temperature to be recorded at the tip of a standard silica optical fibre with good spatial resolution.

Distributed high temperature sensing for furnace monitoring and control

A technology for accurately measuring real time high temperature sensing in a harsh industrial environment which is currently undergoing trials.

High performance portable optical clock

This clock is anticipated to provide a new standard in accuracy and stability for use in applications including data transfer in telecommunications, stock market transactions GPS, navigation systems, precision measurement radio astronomy and timekeeping.

The Braggs enables the co-location of IPAS researchers and students

The Braggs – IPAS Headquarters

Facilities

The Braggs is a transdisciplinary space that enables the co-location of IPAS researchers and students from a broad range of scientific disciplines. It incorporates a 420-seat lecture theatre, custom designed meeting and communications areas, teaching and research laboratories.

The unique suite of transdisciplinary laboratories contains facilities for:

• Precisionmeasurementoftime,temperatureandfrequency• Photonicsensordevelopment• Advancedmanufacturingincluding3Dceramicandmetalprinting• Glassandopticalfibredevelopmentandprocessing• Laserdevelopment• Luminescencedatingandradiationmeasurement• Syntheticandsurfacechemistry.

The Braggs is an accelerator facility, designed to speed up the pace of research by bringing together all the people working in these disparate disciplines and providing them with facilities required to progress further than would be possible in a traditional physics or chemistry lab (for example we now have the ability to bring clinical samples into the laboratories to test them using new measurement tools developed within our labs a critical enabler for our new ARC Centre of Excellence for Nanoscale BioPhotonics).

The Precision Measurement Laboratories are equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment in the optical, microwave and radio-frequency domains. The laboratories have an ultra-high performance “frequency comb” that allows measurement and generation of optical signals with an exactly known frequency. The combination of this frequency comb and other high precision clocks allow ultra-sensitive measurements, ranging from the presence of certain trace chemicals through to high-precision physical measurements of magnetic fields, refractive index or temperature.

All of The Braggs Labs, from the Luminescent Laboratories in the basement, to the Atmospheric Sensing Laboratories on the roof with direct access to the atmosphere, are fully equipped to ensure that the researchers are able to undertake outstanding science.

IPAS has installed its DMG Ultrasonic Mill

Optofab – Facilities in Adelaide

The Australian National Fabrication Facility

Established under the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy, the Australian National Fabrication Facility (ANFF) links eight university-based nodes to provide researchers and industry with access to state-of-the-art fabrication facilities. The capability provided by ANFF enables users to process materials (glasses, metals, composites and ceramics, polymers and polymer-biological moieties) and transform these into structures that have applications in sensors, medical devices, nanophotonics and nanoelectronics.

The ANFF difference

Opening the doors to world-class infrastructure is only the first step. Without dedicated staff to support access, breakthrough research remains just an idea. Each ANFF node has experts on hand who are experienced in meeting user requirements and maintaining leading-edge instrumentation to assist researchers. Over 60 technical staff positions are funded through the program. Researchers can either work at the node under expert guidance, or to contract for the fabrication of specialised products at a reasonable cost.

Optofab node of ANFF

Optofab, led by Prof Michael Withford of Macquarie University, consists of four facility centres at Macquarie University, Bandwidth Foundry International, University of Sydney and the University of Adelaide. The headquarters located at Macquarie University.

Ultrasonic Mill

New high-tech materials and much higher demands being placed on surface quality and precision have made the utilisation of new manufacturing technologies and machining methods indispensable.

Funded under the Australian National Fabrication Facility (ANFF), IPAS has installed a DMG Ultrasonic 20 linear that offers the perfect solution by combining precision and versatility at a level of efficiency that was inconceivable only a few years ago. Specialised machining requirements are now available for soft, hard and advanced high-performance materials which have been traditionally difficult to machine.

These facilities service the needs of IPAS researchers and offer contract services to researchers and companies across the world. The optical fibre fabrication facilities at IPAS form part of the Australian National Fabrication Facility (ANFF), which links eight facility nodes to provide researchers and industry with access to state-of-the-art fabrication facilities.

The STARR Lab (Reproductive Biophotonics)

Preventable reproductive disease costs Australia more than $3B per year and affects more than 25% of women between 15 and 45 years of age. Additionally, reproductive efficiency and pregnancy loss is a major economic issue in livestock breeding, and directly impacts on other industries such as agriculture. At present it is not possible to monitor developing embryos or assess the uterine environment non-destructively, which is essential to improving productivity, cost efficiency and assisted reproductive technology techniques.

The STARR Lab was established to underpin the development of photonics-based reproductive health technologies, enabling SA’s reproductive health researchers and clinicians to lead their field in the

adoption of emerging optical fibre-based technologies. These emerging sensing platforms will provide a richer understanding of the science of early embryo development, as well as improved diagnostics of endometriosis, reproductive cancers and infertility.

Our partners

The STARR facility is a $1.4M initiative supported by the South Australian Premier’s Science and Research Fund (PSRF) and is a partnership between The University of Adelaide, Robinson Institute, IPAS, Cook Australia Pty Ltd, Flinders Reproductive Medicine Pty Ltd, Fertility SA Pty Ltd and Reproductive Health Science Pty Ltd.
