Institute of Laser Engineering (ILE)

The Institute of Laser Engineering (ILE) of the Beijing University at Technology (BJUT) was built up in May 2005 combining with National Center of Laser Technology and Beijing Laser Hi-tech Lab. We are grounded in the application and research in laser manufacturing technology and system. The ILE strives to educate Ph.D students and graduate students as our educational mission. Currently we offer optical engineering and optics doctor degree and master degree and post doctoral position. The optics belongs to national key discipline and optical engineering is Beijing key discipline. The total area of the laboratories is 3515 m2 and the value of lab equipments is 47.62million RMB. There are 40 faculty and staff including 8 Ph.D supervisors and 10 professors. Of this number two are awarded new century prize of Ministry of Education, one won Beijing High Education top talent prize, six has received Beijing Science New Star and two belongs to Beijing new century talent.

The ILE pursues three major research themes after more than ten years “211 project” construction. The three featured themes are: laser modern manufacturing science and engineering, laser micro nano processing and ultrafast science and energy optical electronic technology and system. These three themes, in turn, form the major topics that approximately fourteen research groups and laboratories—organized around ILE professors.

A great number of projects such as “973 project”,”863 project”, National Science and Nature Foundation projects as well as industry projects have been finished. The cooperation with domestic and foreign institutes and enterprises has been carried out successfully. The research fruits have been applied widely in laser 3D cutting, laser welding, laser cladding, functional material modifying, laser micro fabricating biochip, high power solid state laser, high power diode laser, high energy pico second laser

ILE is already moving from the lab to the marketplace, from domestic to international cooperation. ILE faculty are working closely following the advanced laser manufacturing technology, collecting talented research groups, setting up a high level discipline platform and educating innovative students to improve the application of laser technology in our country.
