About
My major is Optics, especially optical thin films. I had more than 15 years of experience on optical thin film design, fabrication, and analysis. The fabrication method which I used was ion assisted deposition, ion plating, magnetron sputtering, and ion beam sputtering. I also have about 10 years experience on ring laser gyroscope. And I have about two years experience on display components. From 2014, I am focusing on the development of mulltilayer dielectrice gratings for spectral beam combinng(SBC) and chirped pulse amplification(CPA).
