摘要
Guoqing Chang spoke to Shining Zhu of Nanjing University,about his insights into laser science,applications,and future prospects.Chang:When did you first hear about laser?Zhu:As one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century,the laser has been applied to many fields,such as laser machining and processing,gravitational wave detection,precision metrology,laser spectroscopy and microscopy,5G\6G technology,microwave photonics,just to name a few.
作者简介
Shining Zhu is a professor at the School of Physics and a principal investigator(PI)at the National Laboratory of Solid State Microstructures,Nanjing University,China.He is also an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences,and a fellow of OSA,COS,and APS.He got his master’s and PhD degrees from the Physics Department of Nanjing University.Since then he has been working on functionally microstructured materials,paying close attention to their applications in laser,nonlinear,and quantum optics.He and his collaborators have published more than 500 papers in SCI journals,including Science,Nature,Physical Review Letters,Nature Materials,Nature Photonics,etc.Due to his outstanding contributions,he and his colleagues received the First-Class State Natural Science Award in 2006.He was appointed as dean of the School of Physics in Nanjing University from 2005 to 2011 and also served as founding dean of a newly established College of Engineering and Applied Science at Nanjing University from 2009 to 2012;Guoqing Chang graduated with both bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the Electronics Engineering Department of Tsinghua University.He obtained his PhD degree in electrical engineering from the Center for Ultrafast Optical Science at the University of Michigan.After staying at the University of Michigan as a postdoctoral research fellow for about one year,he joined the Research Laboratory of Electronics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a postdoctoral research associate.In August 2012,he moved to the Center for Free Electron Laser(CFEL)at Hamburg(Germany)as the head of the Helmholtz Young investigator group“Ultrafast Laser Optics and Coherent Microscopy”under the ultrafast optics and x-ray division.He was granted tenure in 2016.In 2017,he joined Institute of Physics,Chinese Academy of Sciences,as a professor.His current research focuses on high-power ultrafast fiber lasers,ultrafast nonlinear optics,and multi-photon microscopy for biomedical imaging.
