The process of my country's peaceful rise is the process of increasingly breaking through the technological blockade of European and American countries. In recent years, my country has broken through the technological blockade of the United States in the high-tech technology of supercontinuous spectrum light source.
This technology is expected to be used to develop more powerful military weapons, becoming a new breakthrough in the history of national defense development, shocking the Americans. The person who made this scientific research result was a female professor at of the National University of Defense Technology of my country. With her courage as a man as a man, she has been buried in the laboratory for ten years and devoted herself to the research of lasers. She finally achieved this scientific research result that has attracted worldwide attention.
Hou Jing
Americans never expected that my country's laser research association would progress so quickly. They called Hou Jing "a woman who is more terrifying than a nuclear bomb."
How did Hou Jing achieve such major scientific research results? What is the significance of this scientific research achievement that breaks through the US technology blockade?
Girl who doesn’t play house
Hou Jing was born in 1971. Her parents were ordinary farmers in the countryside of Liaoning Province. In that era, children had no decent toys to play. When they were free, a group of friends would often gather together to laugh and play, boys played war games, and girls played house.

Hou Jing was influenced by patriotism education. Since childhood, she did not like playing houses and various fancy jewelry like other girls, but prefers to play war games with boys. Over time, like many boys, she has planted a seed of dreams of joining the army in her heart since she was a child.
When I graduated from high school, Hou Jing, driven by her dream of joining the army, chose the National University of Defense Technology without hesitation and entered the university's applied physics major with excellent results, opening up her own path to serving the country with military science and technology.
In addition to receiving basic military training on campus, Hou Jing devoted all her energy to learning professional knowledge and participating in scientific research.

She has been working hard in the laboratory for a long time. Although she is sitting on the bench day after day, Hou Jing's heart is hot. She knows what her efforts mean, and she knows that what she wants to take is the path of serving the country with science and technology that suits her.
When other girls participate in various activities in college to show their style and talk about their lives, Hou Jing spent all her youth on study and scientific research.
Hard work pays off. When he graduated from undergraduate, Hou Jing was admitted to the school with excellent grades to , a master's and doctoral degree program, specializing in research in the field of optics. His tutor is a famous optical expert Jiang Wenhan .

In When he was studying in Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hou Jing was exposed to the most cutting-edge optical research results in China. Among the many sub-sectors, the young and enterprising Hou Jing chose the most challenging and very promising adaptive optics, and began to accumulate in this field continuously. What he thinks every day is how to achieve new breakthroughs.
She abandoned all her unnecessary thoughts and focused on the optical field she was studying. She was accompanied by academic papers and experimental instruments every day. Her passionate patriotism made her forget her fatigue and even forgot to eat and sleep.
In 2002, Hou Jing was 31 years old. She brought her achievements at the Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and all the scientific research progress to her alma mater, National University of Defense Technology, and continued to engage in research on adaptive optics while teaching.

Originally, Hou Jing has been following her research path, but the introduction of " supercontinuous spectrum light source " heard at an academic exchange meeting has changed her research direction since then.
So what is attractive about this "supercontinuous spectrum light source"?
At that academic exchange meeting, academician of the Academy of Sciences Zhao Yijun introduced this thing. The scientific term Academician Zhao said is that when a "supercontinuous spectrum light source" is, when it comes to work, it can cover the entire working band of the photoelectric sensing device, so most protective equipment currently find it difficult to protect this light source.
In simple terms, supercontinuous spectrum light sources have very strong penetration due to their special optical characteristics, and most optical protective equipment is difficult to block its power.

Once this light source is used in the military field, it will create a weapon with a much lower cost than missile , but its lethality can be expanded to much greater than missiles.
However, this technology is still in a very preliminary research stage and there is still a long way to go before it is put into use. Even in the United States at that time, this technology was still in the research stage and had not entered the use stage.
The indissoluble bond with laser
Hou Jing saw the huge development potential of "supercontinuous spectrum light source". After careful consideration, she decided to change her research direction, from the previous research on adaptive optics to the related research on supercontinuous spectrum light source.

It can be said that from then on, Hou Jing has shouldered the banner of China's supercontinuous spectrum light source research with her strong strong bones as strong as men.
The leaders of the National University of Defense Technology also expressed full support for Hou Jing's work, and provided her with the various resources she needed, both in terms of funding and talents.
With the support of the school, Hou Jing completed all basic research in this field in a few years. The next step is the most difficult stage of solving key problems.
At that time, my country's research conditions in this area were limited, and foreign scientists had achieved further scientific research progress than my country. So in order to learn foreign advanced technology, Hou Jing applied to the school and went to the University of Bath in the UK for academic exchanges.

At the University of Bath, Hou Jing devotes herself to academic discussions every day. She pays attention to every speech by British experts, for fear of missing anything worth learning.
During the exchange, she learned many scientific research technologies that were not available in China. At the same time, she also found that the UK did not have some of the relevant scientific research achievements and technologies that China has, so she discovered new opportunities for this.
At that time, she thought that if China and the UK were allowed to conduct research in this field together, wouldn’t that be better? It would not only allow scientists between the two countries to communicate with each other, but also accelerate China’s scientific research process.

is only for the consideration of the principle of military confidentiality between the two countries, and cannot open up all achievements and technologies in this field. However, Hou Jing is completely confident that as long as the scientific researchers of China and the UK cooperate with each other in a convenient open field, she can lead her scientific research team to overcome the remaining key areas that need to be kept confidential alone.
After returning from the UK, she quickly wrote a theoretical report, which detailed the advantages of the National University of Defense Technology's optical research and the advantages of the University of Bath in the UK, and formally proposed that the two universities cooperate scientific research to study high-power, spectrally controllable supercontinuous spectrum light sources together.
Hou Jing's proposal was recognized by the school. Soon after, under the leadership of Hou Jing, the optical research team of the National University of Defense Technology officially began to cooperate with the University of Bath in the UK.

From then on, China and the UK have communicated with each other, and research in the field of supercontinuous spectroscopy has begun to make rapid progress.
In the process of advancing the research process, Hou Jing focused on the current academic difficulties, while she was always outlining the situation where this technology would be applied to national defense in the future. Therefore, she always stared at the final goal firmly, so every difficulty seemed so insignificant in her eyes.
In order to overcome a difficulty, she could even stay in the laboratory day and night with the team members, waiting until the difficulty was overcome. Before she had time to rest, she quickly devoted herself to the work of solving the next problem.
With super perseverance and patience, Hou Jing and her team members quickly made various scientific research breakthroughs one after another. They first overcome the two major problems of "full fiberization" and "high average power", and then successfully developed a new type of photon fiber with the help of two materials: metal and crystal.
Laser experiment
This optical fiber can emit high-power supercontinuous spectrum light source, which means that Hou Jing's supercontinuous spectrum light source research has been officially successful.
"A woman who is more terrifying than a nuclear bomb"
This light emits extraordinary light. It is a laser with super-high energy, namely a supercontinuous spectrum laser.
Originally, lasers, as one of the important emerging technologies in the 21st century, have played an important role in various fields. This laser has much better performance than ordinary lasers and will bring disruptive technological improvements in many fields.

In terms of military affairs, the United States has been studying supercontinuous spectrum light source technology for many years and trying to apply it to military communications, battlefield situation reconnaissance and other aspects.
The United States has made certain scientific research progress and has maintained a world-leading level for many years in a row. It has implemented technological blockades on many countries, including China, in order to suppress the military development of other countries.
Hou Jing's research results not only broke through the United States' technological blockade and the United States' technological blockade for many years, but also significantly surpassed the United States' research progress, which shocked American scientists.

As mentioned earlier, the supercontinuous spectrum light source can fully cover all working bands of the photoelectric sensing device, that is, no matter what band of the photoelectric sensing device, this light source can interfere with it, and it is difficult for the equipment to protect itself under such interference.
If this light source is applied to optoelectronic confrontation in the military, the enemy's precise guidance system can quickly fail. Whether it is an automatic tracking missile or a long-range guided missile, as long as it encounters this light source, it will soon fall into paralysis.
In modern warfare, many weapons rely on electronic devices for guidance, and once the electronic devices used for guidance are severely disturbed, it is equivalent to becoming a pile of scrap iron that is "deaf and blind".

Therefore, Hou Jing's research results mean that our army will soon have more advanced equipment in electronic countermeasures , which is of milestone significance for our army.
In addition to jamming equipment in electronic confrontation, this technology can also be directly used for destructive weapons. Ordinary lasers already have a lot of energy, and the energy of this supercontinuous spectrum laser is even more huge. It can be made into destructive weapons and applied to war scenes such as land-to-land and land-to-air, and can quickly identify and strike enemy personnel and fighter jets. After the
technology reaches maturity, the power it can release is no less than a nuclear bomb, and the cost is much lower than that of a nuclear bomb. Therefore, Hou Jing is called "a woman who is even more terrifying than a nuclear bomb" by American scientists.

In addition, in the industrial field, this technology refreshes many people's understanding of laser cutting . Although laser cutting technology has been used for many years, ordinary lasers can only be used for small-volume product cutting due to limited performance.
. Because the supercontinuous spectrum laser is much more powerful than ordinary lasers, it can be used to cut large objects, such as those used in the manufacturing of ships and aircrafts, etc.
No matter how large or the solid material is, it can be "cut into iron like mud".In addition to being used in the military and industrial fields, this new technology can also be used in biomedical . In medical imaging, supercontinuous spectrum laser can clearly present complex human organs such as coronary artery , body organs, etc. to doctors, greatly facilitating medical diagnosis and treatment.
Laser Medicine
Hou Jing's scientific research results have caused a sensation in our country's troops, which means that our army has surpassed the United States in laser technology, not only breaking the United States' technological blockade, but also making the United States, which implements hegemony everywhere, even more afraid of the strength of our army.
In 2012, Hou Jing was appointed as the director of the Laser Technology Research Office by the National University of Defense Technology, and more and more scientific research talents participated in her research team.
As a mentor, although Hou Jing has made outstanding contributions to the country, she never takes credit and is arrogant, but always gets along with the students in an approachable manner.
In the eyes of students, she is a kind and amiable elder sister. She not only often takes the initiative to chat with students, but also takes the initiative to lend a helping hand whenever students encounter difficulties.
At one time, a student's father was hospitalized for serious illness and could not make up enough treatment fees. Hou Jing took out 5,000 yuan from his salary without saying a word to help the students overcome the difficulties.
hou Jing
Although Hou Jing does not have the same reputation as a celebrity, she is the representative of outstanding women in our country. She has shouldered a heavy burden on our country's military power with her thin shoulders.
At the same time, she is also a typical representative of many scientists who have worked silently in the process of becoming prosperous and strong in our country. They do not seek fame or profit, and are willing to sit on the bench on their own research path. It is their common dedication and together they have made the country prosperous and strong today.
Pay tribute to the thousands of patriots who have made silent contributions in their tech positions!
