Research & Teaching Interests:
Professor Zhang’s research is focused on laser physics and technology, laser beam propagation and control, nonlinear optics, laser communication, etc. In her work, she proposed the theory of second moments of partially coherent beams in atmospheric turbulence and furthermore proposed a new method for determining the characteristics parameters of the turbulence based on the measurement of M2-factor. She is also devoted to the research of the key techniques of inertial confinement fusion (ICF) driver. She proposed a successive iteration method for solving the inverse problems of laser propagation, amplification and harmonic generation in high-power laser systems in order to determine the parameters of the input laser beam and the system from the required parameters of the output laser beam.
