Laboratory of Space Laser Engineering and Technology (LSLET) aims at the needs of national strategy and major space engineering focuses on laser technology and its application in astronautics, and researches on space lasers, space LIDAR and space laser communication, etc.
The Laboratory has undertaken several major national projects on space engineering, and has achieved a number of firsthand results internationally and domestically. For example: In 2007, the first homemade space solid-state laser was used for Chang’e 1 satellite altimeter, and an accurate and high-resolution 3D map of the entire lunar surface was obtained successfully, which won the First prize of Shanghai Science and Technology Progress. In 2013, a pulsed fiber laser was applied to the 3D imaging sensor in Chang’e 3 lander for the first time in the world, and also won the First prize of Shanghai Science and Technology Progress. In 2013, the first space-borne 3D imaging LIDAR was accomplished in China. In 2017, the first satellite-ground coherent laser communication was demonstrated and verified successfully in China, and data transmission at a rate of 5Gbps was achieved for the first time.
The Laboratory includes 95 faculty members, 5 professors, 9 associate professors and 16 senior engineer, covering areas of optics, electronics, mechanics, software, quality management, and so on. Furthermore, the laboratory has established scientific and rational personnel allocation method, multidisciplinary collaborative work system, and a professional team of technical support and management.
