Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

Description We have optimised the conditions under which to grow thin film diamond for use in night vision applications. In particular we have enhanced the secondary electron yield.
Exploitation Route Diamond is being investigated by companies such as Photonis for photo-multiplier tubes
Sectors Aerospace, Defence and Marine,Digital/Communication/Information Technologies (including Software),Electronics,Government, Democracy and Justice
 
Description Diamond lens development with Qioptiq and DSTL 
Organisation Qioptiq Limited
Country United Kingdom 
Sector Private 
PI Contribution We have developed thick diamond films growth for free standing lenses for Qioptiq. This is a long term project over the next few years.
Collaborator Contribution Qioptiq designed the lens and the specification of the lens.
Impact Multi-disciplinary, physics / materials science project. We have grown 0.5mm thick films and shortly will prototype 2mm thick lenses.
Start Year 2015
