IPAS Optical Fibre Fabrication Facilities

The optical fibre manufacturing facilities at the Institute for Photonics and Advanced Sensing (IPAS), at The University of Adelaide comprise state-of-the-art fabrication equipment, know-how and capability. This facility in Adelaide forms part of the Australian National Fabrication Facility (ANFF). The ANFF is a seven-Node facility, with Nodes distributed throughout Australia, drawing on existing infrastructure and expertise. The OptoFab Node brings together three leading microfabrication groups in NSW, Macquarie University, the University of Sydney, and the Bandwidth Foundry. In February 2009, IPAS joined OptoFab, thus enhancing the optical fibre fabrication capabilities available within the Node. 

Commercial Services

As part of the OptoFab node of the ANFF, IPAS offers a variety of commercial services from the supply of custom glasses and fibres to theoretical modelling and development of novel sensor platforms. Academic groups and companies are encouraged to contact IPAS with their specific requirements or to access our specialised equipment and services.
