China Vitae

Biography

Wang Qiming, male, Han nationality, is a native of Jinjiang, Fujian Province. He graduated from the Physics Department of Fudan University in 1956.

A former researcher of the Semiconductor Research Institute of the China Academy of Science, Wang joined the construction of a semiconductor testing base. In 1963, he started to devote himself to semiconductor optoelectronics research and later became involved in developing continuous laser room temperature semiconductor laser devices.

During his studies, he discovered the phenomena existing in double heterojunction lasers, such as abnormal self-pulses, forward negative resistance switches and memory switches. He later successfully developed quantum trap lasers, modulators, optical dual-stable lasers and switch components. Wang's research contributed to the development of optical information treatment, optical switches, optical exchange technology and a new generation of photoelectric components.

In 1991, he was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
