Yunnan Provincial Key Laboratory of Modern Information Optics (LMIO)

I. Laboratory Overview

The Yunnan Provincial Key Laboratory of Modern Information Optics(LMIO), officially established at Kunming University of Science and Technology in late 2020, is a pivotal provincial education platform. It integrates fundamental optical research, engineering applications, and talent cultivation. Originating from the Laser Research Institute founded in 1987, the lab evolved into the Key Laboratory of Laser Information Technology and Applications in 2016, building on a strong academic foundation.

The platform adheres to the philosophy of “emphasizing both basic research and engineering applications,” aiming to address national demands in information optics and support the transformation and upgrading of Yunnan’s digital economy and advanced manufacturing industry.

Currently, the lab has 8 core research members, including 4 with senior titles and 6 with intermediate titles. The team features a balanced age structure and diverse academic backgrounds, spanning optical engineering, materials physics, information processing, and artificial intelligence. Professor Yaping Zhang, the Director of LMIO, is a Ph.D. advisor in mechanical engineering and a master’s supervisor in optics.She has been recognized as a “Talents for Revitalizing Yunnan – Industrial Innovation Talent” and a leading academic and technical expert in Yunnan. Additionally, she is a member of the Ministry of Education’s Steering Committee on Opto-Electronic Information Science and Engineering.She is also a Senior Member of the IEEE.

II. Major Research Directions

Aligning with national and regional development strategies,LMIO focuses on several main research directions to achieve pioneering breakthroughs in high-performance 3D information acquisition, optical information processing, and holographic imaging and display technologies:

Applications of Optical Scanning Holography (OSH) in 3D Microscopy, Biometric Recognition, and Large-Scene Holographic Data Acquisition and Imaging

This research direction leverages the superior performance of the Optical Scanning Holography (OSH) system, focusing on 3D information acquisition and high-precision reconstruction of large-scale complex scenes, while also exploring resolution enhancement in 3D microscopy. The specific research topics include:

• Acquiring and reconstructing holographic data of large, complex objects using coherent and incoherent optical scanning;

• Exploring intelligent recognition of non-contact biometric features (e.g., face, fingerprints) using chirped gratings and joint transform recognition methods;

• Extending the research to holographic imaging and its applications for large-scale objects, providing a solid theoretical and experimental foundation for future intelligent sensing and target recognition systems.

• Exploring research and applications involving biological cells, transparent objects, and microstructures.

Preparation and Characterization of Photopolymer-Based Holographic Films and Their Applications as Holographic Optical Elements (HOEs)

This research focuses on fabricating photopolymer holographic films with high refractive index modulation and enhanced diffraction efficiency. Meanwhile, studies such as nanoparticle doping into photopolymers are conducted to advance the application of optical materials in high-performance display and information storage. The research topics include:

• Developing photopolymer material systems for different wavelength bands and optimizing their optical properties and recording mechanisms;

• Integrating HOEs with Volume Holographic Gratings (VHGs) to study their use in optical waveguides, near-eye displays, and 3D vision systems;

• Advancing polarization holography to accurately express polarization information in holographic recordings and explore applications of polarization optics in intelligent imaging.

Real-Time Generation and Dynamic Visualization of Color Holograms, Integration of Holography with Digital Art and Cultural Heritage Preservation

Combining computer graphics with holographic imaging, this direction drives innovation in color hologram generation, digital preservation of cultural heritage, and 3D display technologies. Research topics include:

• Generating and displaying complex color holograms from high-resolution data (e.g., real 3D facial data) using computational holography and rendering techniques;

• Developing real-time 3D color reconstruction models through integration of deep learning and CGH (computer-generated holography) techniques;

•Utilize holographic recording and 3D reconstruction technologies to support applications such as virtual museums, education in 3D display, and digital art exhibitions, promoting the integration of information optics with public cultural services.·

Quantum Holography, Infrared Holography, and Wavefront-based Nondestructive Testing

Exploring novel imaging mechanisms and nondestructive testing methods, this research combines cutting-edge technologies in quantum and infrared holography. Focus areas include:

• Quantum Holography: Using quantum entangled light sources and SU(1,1) nonlinear interferometry, this research explores high-resolution imaging at low photon flux, establishing a highly sensitive 3D information acquisition path via Quantum Phase-Shift Digital Holography (Q-PSDH), which resists classical noise and phase interference;

• Infrared Holography: Investigating holography and imaging in infrared bands, developing wavefront detection methods based on infrared-sensitive materials. Using digital holographic, dynamic wavefront reconstructions of stress, temperature, and structural deformation are achieved, providing platforms for industrial testing and structural health monitoring.

III. Research Achievements and Platform Influence

Over the years, LMIOhas cultivated a unified, democratic, and open academic team comprising experienced, mid-career, and young researchers. In the past five years, the lab has undertaken 7 National Natural Science Foundation projects and more than ten provincial and ministerial-level projects, establishing a comprehensive technical system from basic research to engineering transformation. Team members have achieved 3 professional promotions and 5 provincial talent titles, with one member on Ministry of Education’s Teaching Steering Committee for Opto-electronic Information Science and Engineering. Nearly 20 master’s/PhD students graduate annually. The lab has organized or hosted nearly ten academic and research conferences.

More than 50 SCI/EI-indexed papers and 20+ invention patents have been published/granted, with 6 achievements transferred for industrial use. The team has published nine influential books and textbooks in optical information processing, including:

Modern Information Optics with MATLAB (Cambridge University Press & Higher Education Press, English edition Jan 2023, ISBN: 9781316511596; Chinese edition May 2023, ISBN: 9787040595932; domestic English edition May 2024, ISBN: 9787040616880; bilingual edition Nov 2024, ISBN: 9787040630916),

As well as Research and Practice on Curriculum Ideological and Political Construction in Higher Education in Yunnan (Yunnan People's Publishing House, Sept 2022, ISBN: 9787222211049).

These contributions support the cultivation of high-level professionals with global vision in western China.

The laboratory has also made significant strides in graduate and undergraduate teaching reform. It undertakes the national-level first-class undergraduate course Virtual Simulation Experiment on Modern Information Optics, along with two provincial first-class virtual simulation courses in Yunnan. It has established a “Holographic 3D Display Virtual Experiment Base” and a joint graduate training base in collaboration with Yunnan Tianheli Optoelectronic Technology Co., Ltd., promoting interdisciplinary training in optics, mechanics, electronics, and computing.

It leads the Graduate Supervisor Team Development Project in Information Optics in Yunnan Province and the 14th Five-Year Textbook Project of Kunming University of Science and Technology. Courses offered include Fourier Optics, Frontiers of the Optoelectronic Information Industry, Information Optics, Optical System Design and ZEMAX Applications, Signals and Systems, Technical English and Selected Literature, and College Physics.

The team leader serves as Chair of the 2024 Optica Conference on Digital Holography & 3D Imaging, and previously chaired the Subcommittee of the Optica Annual Meeting FiO+LS in 2021/2022. Team members have been invited to deliver 21 plenary talks at international conferences. In 2024, the lab received the Yunnan Provincial Science and Technology Award (Second Prize), the Grand Prize for Undergraduate Teaching Achievement, and the Second Prize for Graduate Education Achievement from Kunming University of Science and Technology.
