About the editor

Dr. Yan Feng is currently a professor at the Shanghai Institute of Optics and fine Mechanics (SIOM), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). He got his Ph.D. degree from the Physics Department of Nankai University, Tianjin, China, in 2000, and spent two postdoctoral stays at Institute of Physics, CAS, and Institute for Laser Science, University of Electro-communications, Japan, respectively. From 2005 to 2009, he was a laser physicist at the European Southern Observatory, and developed a Raman fiber amplifier based sodium guide star laser. He joined SIOM in 2010 under the support of CAS's 100-talent program. He works on fiber lasers and nonlinear photonics for scientific applications. His research interests include Raman fiber lasers, single frequency fiber amplifiers, laser development for astronomy and atom physics, and manipulation of nonlinear optical effects in optical fibers. He has made pioneering contributions to the power scaling and wavelength expanding of Raman fiber lasers, andto the development of fiber-based guide star lasers.
