中国激光科学发展的促进因素研究

An Analysis of the Historical Factors for the Development of Laser Science in China

1961年,长春光机所的研究人员依靠50年代打下的应用光学基础在中国独立开创了激光科学。在随后的发展中,中国激光科学借助60初期相对宽松的学术环境迅速起步并在60年代中期形成了全国统一的研究格局,依靠其潜在的军事应用前景得到了国家有关方面的大量支持,成为中国现代科学技术中发展较快的学科之一。

Relying on the technology on applied optics accumulated during the 1950s, Chinese scientists in Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences initiated independently laser science in 1961. Owing to the relatively relaxing academic atmosphere, researches on laser science were carried out immediately in many institutes and universities,and basic layout of laser research was formed in the middle of the 1960s. Because it has broad application prospects, especially for military purposes, a series of measures were taken by the Chinese government to speed up the research and laser science in China has been developed very quickly.
