Theme Overview

Microcomb technologies are still emerging, and many phenomena are only just being discovered with the underlying physics still being debated. Current microcombs can be used for proof-of-concept demonstrations, however they lack the efficiency, stability, simplicity, and reliability needed for real-world applications.

Further, integrated comb systems with the ability to manipulate and detect each individual comb line are required. Finally, microcombs have yet to be realised at visible and mid-infrared wavelengths needed for astronomy, biomedical imaging, and gas sensing. Click here for more information  - 

Workshop Aim

The COMBS Science and Technology Theme Workshop will bring together theme members at RMIT over two days to align on progress, challenges, and next steps across priority activities, looking towards the mid-term review of the centre. The workshop aims to provide a structured forum to shape the theme roadmap, identify capability requirements, and explore collaboration opportunities, including engagement with other S&T themes.

A key focus will be on recent Ligentec chip run, with discussion centred on characterization results, practical lessons learned, and implications for future tape outs. This will include opportunities for hands-on demonstrations and technical exchange.
