Centre for Atom Optics and Ultrafast Spectroscopy

Welcome to the Centre for Atom Optics and Ultrafast Spectroscopy

Welcome to the Centre for Atom Optics and Ultrafast Spectroscopy
CAOUS was established at Swinburne as a new strategic initiative in 1999. The Centre, led by Professor Peter Hannaford, is part of the Faculty of Engineering and Industrial Sciences. CAOUS, together with the Centre for Micro-Photonics (CMP) is housed in the Swinburne Optics and Laser Laboratories (SOLL)

CAOUS hosts nodes of the ARC Centres of Excellence for Quantum-Atom Optics (ACQAO) and Coherent X-ray Science (CXS).
