实验室概况/ Overview of the Laboratory of Optical Physics
光物理实验室最早是经中国科学院组织专家 Optical physics was one of the earliest disciplines
论证并批准成立的部门实验室,于 1994 年 12 月 正式对国内外开放, 2001 年 11 月按中科院的统一 要求更名为中国科学院物理研究所光物理重点实 验室.实验室为从事光物理基础研究及应用基础 研究的实体,主要研究方向是光与物质相互作用 的基础研究,同时开展新材料在光学,尤其是在 光子学领域的应用基础研究,即一方面重视光物 理本身的研究,另一方面将现代光学的方法和技 术引入凝聚态物理和材料科学中去,开拓几种新 材料在高技术产业中的可能应用.实验室瞄准国 际科学前沿,在激光物理,光子晶体,非线性光 学,量子光学,强场物理及超快过程研究等方面 开展了在国内外有相当影响的基础和应用研究工 作.在激光器件和新型薄膜材料研究上也有较强 的力量,能够研制并提供多种超短脉冲激光器件 和全固态激光器件,并取得了具有国际先进水平 的成果.此外将光学和物理学的方法,手段应用 于生物系统也是目前正在发展的重点学科方向. 与凝聚态物理与材料科学紧密结合是光物理实验 室研究的重要特点. 光物理实验室拥有门类齐全的先进激光系 统,如纳秒,皮秒,飞秒脉冲激光器,可调谐激 光器,准分子激光器等,以及数字示波器,锁相 放大器,Boxcar 积分器,单光子计数设备及工作 在红外,可见和紫外波段的各类光谱仪等现代测 量仪器,可以开展各类光物理的前沿研究工作. 光物理实验室目前拥有三十位研究人员,是 一支具有一定综合实力的研究队伍,现为全国光 学学科博士,硕士学位点和博士后流动站,有七 十多名在读研究生.目前实验室的研究工作大多 数已进入国际竞争的前沿,承担多项国家和省部 委的重大和重点研究课题.几年来,光物理实验 室在光物理及其相关领域的研究中发挥了应有的 作用.光物理实验室现与国内外十几个大学和研 究所建立了良好的学术合作关系,对国内外科学 家提出的优秀研究项目给予资助并开展合作研 究. established in the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). In December 1994 the Laboratory of Optical Physics was authorized as an Open Laboratory of CAS, and then renamed a CAS Key Laboratory in 2001. Its main focus is on the fundamental studies of laser interactions with matter, as well as applied basic research on novel materials in optics and photonics. That is, while emphasizing the physics of optics, at the same time modern optical methods and techniques are applied to condensed matter physics and material science for potential applications of new materials in high-tech industry. Current research topics include pure and applied studies in laser physics, photonic crystals, nonlinear optics, quantum optics, high laser field physics and ultrafast processes. Through persistent efforts the Laboratory is becoming more and more competitive academically, with a considerable number of publications in the major international journals. Important progress has also been achieved in the fabrication of advanced laser devices and thin film materials, and many kinds of ultrashort pulsed lasers and all-solid-state lasers have been developed in-house, reaping in several national awards in science and technology. Meanwhile, the application of optical methods to biological systems has become an increasingly active research field, further demonstrating the close association of optics with condensed matter and material science in the Lab. At present we have a whole range of advanced laser systems, such as pulsed lasers with nanosecond, picosecond and femtosecond pulse durations, as well as a tunable ring laser, excimer laser and widely tunable optical parametric amplifier (OPA). Modern detection instruments such as fast oscilloscopes, lock-in amplifiers, boxcars, single-photon detection counters, all types of autocorrelators, and different kinds of spectrometers covering the infrared, visible and ultraviolet regions are also available. With a total of 30 research and administrative staff and more than seventy graduate students the Laboratory has emerged as a dynamic force at the forefront of research in optics, undertaking many major national programs. Successful collective projects are in progress with over a dozen external research groups both in China and abroad, and the Laboratory will continue to encourage and support such highly fruitful collaboration.
