On February 18, the Hubei Provincial Science and Technology Innovation Conference was held in Wuhan Hongshan Auditorium. The 2020 Provincial Science and Technology Awards were announced at the conference. Comrade Ying Yong, Secretary of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee, presented awards to the two 2020 Hubei Provincial Science and Technology Outstanding Contribution Award winners.
Yan Dapeng, professor of Wuhan Optoelectronics National Research Center of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, vice chairman and chief engineer of Wuhan Raycus Fiber Laser Technology Co., Ltd., won the 2020 Hubei Science and Technology Outstanding Contribution Award for his achievements in the field of fiber lasers.
The "Decision of the Provincial People's Government on Hubei Science and Technology Awards in 2020" pointed out that the province's scientific and technological workers should learn from the winners, not forget their original intentions, keep their mission in mind, seek truth and be pragmatic, pioneering and innovative, and continuously improve the province's independent innovation capabilities. Conquer key core technologies, promote the industrialization of scientific and technological achievements, accelerate the construction of a strong province of science and technology, and strive to make new and greater contributions to "building a pivot, leading the way, and writing a new chapter."
Dr.Yan Dapeng
Vice Chairman and Chief Engineer of Wuhan Raycus Fiber Laser Technology Co., Ltd.
Dr. Yan Dapeng has been engaged in the research of industrial high-power fiber lasers and fiber devices for a long time, and he is a leader in this field and a pioneer in engineering applications in my country.
Dr. Yan Dapeng led the team to develop my country's first 25W pulsed fiber laser products, the first 100W, 1000W, 4000W, 6000W, 10kW and 20kW continuous fiber laser products and realized mass production. Take the lead in drafting China's first fiber laser industry standard. Related scientific and technological products and complete sets of equipment have been applied in many fields such as aerospace, automotive, 3D printing, advanced welding and cutting, national defense and security, driving the terminal application market with an output value of more than 100 billion yuan, in order to break foreign monopolies and form internationally competitive lasers and lasers The emerging industries of manufacturing strategy have made contributions and have produced huge economic, social and national defense benefits.
Dr. Yan Dapeng has successively won one second prize of the National Science and Technology Invention Award, and a number of provincial and ministerial science and technology awards including the Hubei Provincial Science and Technology Progress Special Award. In 2020, he won the honorary title of National Model Worker.
Yan Dapeng led the team to achieve more than 100 technological innovations and breakthroughs in fiber laser power synthesis, laser chips and complete laser manufacturing equipment, and independently developed 16 varieties of high-performance high-power fiber laser series products and more than 200 varieties of laser welding and cutting. The series of equipment, with more than 1,500 direct application units worldwide, has made important contributions to the construction of an internationally competitive and influential laser and laser manufacturing strategy emerging industry. "The country asked me to study abroad, and I always felt that I had to learn a skill well and repay the country." In 2007, 51-year-old Yan Dapeng quit his job abroad, sold his house, and returned to China with his family and settled in Wuhan to start a business. After years of development and growth, Wuhan Ruike Fiber Laser Technology Co., Ltd. where he works has become the first domestic leading company that specializes in fiber laser research and development, production, and sales, and is listed on the ChiNext.
In recent years, Raycus Laser has teamed up with multiple units and enterprises to tackle multiple key technologies such as high beam quality 10,000-watt fiber laser power combining technology and other "stuck neck" technologies.
