Innofocus has developed the world-first femtosecond laser nano-manufacturing equipment with unique in-situ 3D refractive index imaging functionality, namely nanoLAB H3D. 

It is the world’s only commercially available high-resolution in-situ 3D refractive index distribution characterization equipment, allowing on-line monitoring of fabrication process with a single equipment, streamlining nanofabrication measurement from a multi-step to a single-step process.

Furthermore, Innofocus has launched a standalone model of 3D refractive index metrology equipment named HoloView 3DRI, to meet the rapidly growing market demand for quality control in photonic chip design and manufacturing. It enables quantitative measurement of the surface and internal refractive index distribution with a one-click, automated and continuous characterisation process, taking 3D photonics quantitative metrology to a new era.

HoloView 3DRI and nanoLAB H3D are expected to provide promising solutions to lead the worldwide revolution towards nanomanufacturing in integrated photonics, 3D photonic chips, and optical communication industry.

Cooling systems contribute to a substantial share of global energy consumption. Today’s rising demand for cooling is putting enormous strain on electricity costs, as well as driving up significant emissions. There has never been a more urgent need for a novel cooling solution to address the Net Zero concerns.

Innofocus developed a high performance flexible film that can cool down any covered objects without consuming electricity. The patented film with nanostructure on its surface can allow objects to radiate heat completely into outer space (emissivity close to 100%) while completely avoid solar heat absorption in the visible and infrared, achieve the highest efficiency of radiative cooling.

Applications of the film will result in billions of dollars in savings while significantly reducing carbon footprints. The product is proven effective, with its unique performance that can revolutionise industries like food and agriculture, transportations, energy storage, data centres, etc.

Developed by Innofocus, our Ultrafast Fibre Bragg Grating (UFBG) are world-leading miniaturised optical devices fabricated by femtosecond ultrafast laser pulses. Different to traditional FBG processing with UV light and a phase mask, UFBGs are obtained with high mechanical strength, high temperature stability, fully customisable fabrication and wide dynamic range. Thus, UFBGs has the advantages of High Performance, High Consistency and High Customisability, making them extremely suitable for optical sensing systems, optical communication systems and high-power laser systems, impacting a wide range of Australian Sovereign industries including oil and gas, mining, transportation, and energy storage.

There are three minor product lines of UFBGs: UFBG_S, UFBG_W and Specialised UFBG. UFBG_S are standard UFBG devices with high performance, allowing our customers to select from a range of reflectivity, 3dB bandwidth and coating options.

UFBG_W device show ultra-low reflectivity down to 0.0001% and suitable for kilometre length sensing, while the high consistency of UFBG_W ensured the sensing accuracy.

Specialised UFBG devices are fully customisable in reflectivity, bandwidth and central wavelength, tailored to our customers’ special needs such as UFBGs with high reflectivity reaching 99.99% and ultra-narrow bandwidth down to 0.05 nm.

We are very excited to launch our world-first commercialised Roll-to-Roll FBG manufacturing equipment integrated with rollers specialized for fiber delivery and collection. It is the brand-new 6th model of our unique Innofocus nanoLAB series – nanoLAB r-FBG, which is able to fabricate FBG strings in kilometer length.

The nanoLAB r-FBG represents the state-of-the-art advanced FBG manufacturing equipment with key features including the PTST (Position-Time Synchronization Trigger) function, the PowerFlex precision power control module, and patented automatic fiber core recognition technology. These components effectively tackle the industry challenges encountered in FBG processing, truly taking FBG manufacturing to the intelligent era.
