Research

Smart sensing, devices and materials are increasingly underpinned by the need for new photonic technologies to create, outperform, improve and transform ubiquitous systems of the future across industry and society. Dr Hossain芒鈧劉s research focuses on new device and sensing technologies making smarter use of them to detect our physical and chemical environments. In particular, Dr. Hossain and his team, is working on harnessing the attributes of many smart device technologies (smartphone, smart wearables etc.) to develop of low-cost scientific instruments aiming to serve in those areas where traditional instruments are limited by their size, cost and connectivity. 

This includes smartphone colorimetric, microscopic, spectroscopic, SPR, and many fiber-optic based devices. 3D fabrication of new materials and devices will enable new directions to open up. The cross-disciplinary nature means the team investigates interests across science and engineering. The ultimate aim is to create a powerful network of sensing technologies that will determine the shape of the next generation internet-of-everything to come.

Course Conduct

Project: 3D printing of optical fibre preforms (May 2015 to Dec 2016) Student: J. E. Comatti, G. Balle, L. Chartier, T. Athanaze, and M. S. Rahme – intern and Talented Student Program (TSP) projects at iPL in collaboration with Prof. G. D. Peng at UNSW, A/Prof. S. G. Leon-Saval at School of Physics, The University of Sydney & A/Prof. M. Lancry at Université Paris-Sud, France. Summary: This project developed the world first optical fibre from a 3D printed preform. Our method has been demonstrated successfully as a low-cost technology for drawing polymer fibres. More broadly, 3D printers capable of processing soft glasses, silica, and other materials are likely to come on line in the not-so-distant future. The recent advancement on the project is the step-index preform from a dual-head 3D printer and more recently, we have successfully drawn tapered fibre directly using the thermal extrusion of a printer nozzle.
