About
Xinjian Gao is a leading figure in optical engineering, whose research centers on precision laser beam steering and advanced optomechanical systems. His most influential work tackles the complex inverse problem of Risley prism scanners—devices prized for their wide scanning range and high resolution. In his seminal 2015 paper (57 citations), Gao introduced an iterative refinement method that combines an inverse solution with a forward model, dramatically improving the accuracy of determining prism orientations for a given target position. This breakthrough addressed a long-standing challenge in the field, enabling more reliable and precise beam control for applications in LiDAR, free-space optics, and laser communications. Gao’s contributions have established him as an authority in computational optics and scanner design, bridging theoretical algorithms with practical engineering solutions. His work continues to shape next-generation scanning systems, making him a key reference for researchers and students exploring high-performance optical steering technologies.
