Yao Jianquan

As a famous expert in laser and non-linear optics, he was born in Shanghai in January, 1939.He was admitted by precision instrument department of Tianjin University in 1957, and he obtained his master’s degree in Tianjin University in 1965 and stayed and worked as a teacher. He was elected as fellow of CAS in 1997.He is now the director of Chinese Optical Society, deputy director of Chinese Optical Society laser committee, and vice president of Tianjin laser society, deputy director of institute of modern optical instrument of Tianjin University, and he is, at the same time, the member of Optical Society of America and SPIE, and senior guest researcher of laser center, University of South California, etc. He is the member of the seventh, eighth and ninth national committee of CPPCC, the eighth central committee member of China Association for Promoting Democracy, the ninth and tenth central standing committee member of China Association for Promoting Democracy, and the tenth deputy chairman of CPPCC of Tianjin City, and the tenth chairman of Tianjin Committee of China Association for Promoting Democracy.

Main academic achievements: He has been engaged in research on frequency conversion technology of laser and non-linear optics for years, and developed theory of high power multiple-frequency laser. His refined calculation theory in the optimum phase matching of biaxial crystal is called “Yao-technology”, “Yao-method” and widely used by the international academic circles. In the field of new layer and its application technology, he has successfully developed solid-state laser with high efficiency, tunable laser and laser in a series of high efficient multiple frequency, which have all achieved the advanced international level. He has published more than 350 dissertations over the years, and over 120 on international conference and foreign publications, becoming the well-know Chinese and foreign laser and non-linear optics expert. He has successively obtained the second prize for national innovation, second prize for Progress in Science and Technology in State Education Commission on four occasions, special award of CAS, the first prize for Progress in Science and Technology of the army, gold award of 36^thEureka international fair innovation, and personally obtained excellence on the top honor award “Level 1 Knight Medal” etc.
