Professor Sune Svanberg, Member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences, recently delivered a lecture at Jilin University (JLU) as part of the Dingxin Lecture Series.

Before the lecture, JLU President Prof. ZHANG Xi met with Prof. Svanberg and his wife to express his gratitude for their contributions to the university's international collaboration and talent development efforts.

The lecture was co-hosted by the Jilin University Association for Science and Technology and JLU's Graduate School and College of Electronic Science and Engineering, with over 200 faculty members and students in attendance.

Professor XU Huailiang, Vice Dean of the Graduate School, presided over the event and presented Svanberg with a commemorative plaque.

Svanberg provided an in-depth overview of the development and applications of laser spectroscopy, covering topics such as high-resolution atomic laser spectroscopy and chirped pulse amplification technology. He also discussed the broad interdisciplinary applications of laser spectroscopy in fields like ecology, atmospheric science, agriculture, and medicine.

Svanberg is a former chair of the Nobel Committee for Physics, focusing his research on light detection and ranging, biomedical optics, and gas in scattering media absorption spectroscopy.

His team was the first in Scandinavia to achieve high-harmonic generation, pioneered in time-resolved transillumination imaging of the human body, and developed Scandinavia's first vehicle-mounted LIDAR system, leading globally in multispectral imaging and fluorescence diagnostics.
