Biography
Chen was born on 18 February 1937 in
Fenghua, Zhejiang, China. He studied at Shenyang No. 2 High School, and was accepted by the Department of Physics of Peking University in August 1956.[1] After graduating in 1962, he entered the Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure of Matter in Fuzhou on the recommendation of Hu Ning, and studied under physical chemist Lu Jiaxi for three years.[2]
In 1965, Chen chose
BaB2O4 (BBO) and LiB3O5 (LBO).[2]
In 1988, Chen and his team began searching for optical compounds that could produce shorter ultraviolet wavelengths. After researching hundreds of compounds, they discovered potassium beryllium fluoroborate (KBBF), a nonlinear optical crystal which is capable of generating light within a very narrow bandwidth, with wavelengths of less than 200 nanometers.deep ultraviolet diode-pumped solid-state laser), with a wavelength of only 177.3 nm.[4]
Chen died on 31 October 2018 in Beijing, at the age of 81.[2][5]
Honors and recognition
Chen was elected a fellow of The World Academy of Sciences in 1990 and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2003.[1]
Chen was awarded the 1987
State Technological Invention Award (First Class) in 1991 for LBO.[2][7] In 2013, he was awarded the Laudise Prize by the International Organization for Crystal Growth.[8][9]
