Gao Kun was born in1933165438+1October 4th (1933-1-04) (76 years old). He was born in the field of optical fiber communication. He is a British and American. He lives in China, Hong Kong and the United States. British University London College Award Prins Carl Philip Medal (108 Nobel Prize in Physics (2009) 1992 (No.19) 1996, foreign academicians of China Academy of Sciences, professional electrical engineering, Gao Kun, CBE (Charles Gao Kun, 1933165438+1October 4th-), a Chinese physicist, was born in Shanghai, China [1], originally from Jinshan, Jiangsu (cash mountain area Gao Kun is an expert in optical fiber communication and electrical engineering. China media praised him as the "father of optical fiber" [6] and "father of optical fiber communication". He is the president of the Chinese University of Hong Kong in China. In 2009, he shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with willard boyle and George elwood Smith [1]. 20 10-05-24 20:43:53 Supplement: Early life 1933 1 1.4. Gao Kun was born in Zhangyan Town, Jinshan. My grandfather was Gao Chuiwan, a famous literati of Nanshe in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. My father Gao was a practicing lawyer in the United States, and my uncle Gao Junping was a famous lawyer in modern times. Before entering school, my father hired a teacher to go home and teach Gao Kun and Gao Yun to read the Four Books and Five Classics. When Gao Kun was ten years old, he entered the Shanghai World School, where he completed primary and junior high school courses. Besides receiving Chinese education, he also studied English and French. 20 10-05-24 20:44:06 Supplement: Gao Kun was very interested in chemistry when he was a child, and the third floor of his home became his laboratory. Gao used to make chlorine gas himself, making fire extinguishers, fireworks, fireworks and photographic paper; The most dangerous one is to mix red phosphorus powder with potassium chlorate, add water and stir it into paste, then mix it into mud, rub it into mud and throw it into the street to detonate. Later, he became fascinated with radio and successfully installed a radio with five or six vacuum tubes. 2010-05-24 20: 44:14 supplement: 1948 the family moved to Taiwan Province province [16], and then Gao Kun's father and family moved to Hongkong, China. 1949, Gao Kun entered St. Joseph's College in Hongkong, China to attend the fourth grade of middle school [17]. After graduating from high school, he was admitted to the University of Hong Kong in China, but because he was determined to study electrical engineering, and the University of Hong Kong didn't have this major at that time, he went to woolwich Institute of Technology in East London (now university of greenwich) and was admitted to the University of London with 1957 [65438].

And received a doctorate from University College London. Gao Kun and his wife Huang Meiyun met in London. At that time, he had just gone to study in Britain from Hongkong, China, and his wife was a local Chinese. [5] They got married in 1959 [19][20], and have the eldest son Zhang Ming and the second daughter Qi Ming [19]. Now they both live and work in Silicon Valley [18]. 20 10-05-24 20:45:00 Supplement: Career 1957. Gao Kun joined ITT and worked as an engineer in the British subsidiary Standard Telephone and Cable Company. [2 1] 1960 entered the standard communication laboratory, ITT's central European research institute in the UK, and worked for ten years, and his position was promoted from research scientist to research manager. [2 1] During this period, he received a doctorate in electrical engineering from University College London on 1965. 2010-05-24 20: 45: 21Supplement: During ITT period, Gao Kun studied the signal transmission by using glass fiber, and published many papers, among which 1966 [22] published the paper "Optical Frequency Dielectric Fiber Surface Waveguide", which pointed out the long-distance transmission by using time-based glass fiber. Therefore, it won the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physics [23], Edison Telecom Award, Marconi International Award, Bell Award, Valentin Medal, Lieberman Award and Photoelectric Award. 2010-05-24 20: 45: 31Supplement: 1970, Gao Kun was invited by the Chinese University of Hong Kong in China to set up the Department of Electronics [20] (now called the Department of Electronic Engineering), and worked as a professor and lecturer in the Department of Electronics at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in China for four years. [19] 1974 returned to ITT company, served as the chief scientist in the photoelectric products department in Anaker, Virginia, USA, and was promoted to the engineering director. [2 1] 1982 He was appointed as the first "ITT Executive Scientist" for his outstanding research and management skills, and worked in the Advanced Technology Center in Connecticut.

Gao Kun has a strong research spirit. In order to study the feasibility of optical fiber communication, he often lingers in the laboratory, leaving his family behind. Friends who have known Gao Kun for many years think that his way of thinking is different, and his personal assistant who has been with him for many years has never seen him lose his temper. His wife who has been with him for decades often reminds him not to trust others too much to avoid being cheated; In the eyes of children, he is a good father with a broad mind and a combination of work and play. Gao Kun behind the works is full of childishness, and he has a strong interest in numbers. Even the price of goods in the supermarket can be used as an example of his citing number theory. Gao Kun's actions and thoughts are often unexpected. At the age of sixty, he learned to dive. The leisure activities on weekdays are pottery and tennis. It is his greatest enjoyment to fondle the pottery bottle alone. For Gao Kun, he is interested in anything novel. Gao's world outlook is also different. He has no sense of belonging to his birthplace, Shanghai. No matter where he lives, it makes no difference to Gao Kun. He said he belonged where he was. Perhaps this kind of thinking makes his scientific research field have no boundaries. Gao Kun's childhood is a typical story of the growth of scientists. 1933 was born in Shanghai, lived in the French Concession, and entered the world school (today's international school) in primary school to learn Chinese, English and French. My father is a lawyer and his family is well-off. He lives in a three-story building. The third floor is his childhood laboratory. At first, he was most interested in chemistry. He makes fire extinguishers, fireworks and photographic paper. But the most classic is to make bombs. He knew that red phosphorus powder would burn when mixed with potassium chlorate. So when he mixed the two chemicals, he added water to form a paste, so that it wouldn't catch fire immediately. Later, he got a piece of wet mud and put chemicals in it, just like rubbing jiaozi. After air drying, he threw it into the street and it exploded! Fortunately, he didn't hurt passers-by. He made a radio and made a radio with five or six vacuum tubes. His younger brother Gao Kai was infected by his older brother and became his best partner in the experiment. Today, Gao Kai has made great achievements in studying fluid mechanics at American Catholic University in Washington. 1948, his family immigrated to China and Hongkong. After he came to Hong Kong, he studied at St Joseph's College, and then he was admitted to the University of Hong Kong. But at that time, there was no department of electrical engineering in the University of Hong Kong. He was determined to study this subject and had to go to the University of London. After graduating from college, he joined ITT as an engineer. Because of his good performance, he was hired as a researcher in the research laboratory. At the same time, he studied for a doctorate at Ronda University and graduated in 1965.
