State Key Laboratory of Precision Spectroscopy (SKLPS) is located on Downtown Campus of East China Normal University (Add. 3663 North Zhongshan Road, Shanghai, China), covering a 4000 m² area of experimental rooms together with a 2500 m² physical space for offices. Founded in 1986, the laboratory got the name ‘Open Research Laboratory of Quantum Optics’ by the Ministry of Education in 1990. In a period of ten years, it established itself as ‘Key Laboratory of Optical and Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy, Ministry of Education.’ The laboratory joined National Project 211 and became a member of National Project 985 concerning Science and Technology Innovation Platform in 2006. In 2007, it is authorized to be a state key laboratory by the Ministry of Science & Technology.

Currently, SKLPS has been developed into a comprehensive scientific research institute with modern optics as the leading orientation, exploration of significant fundamental science frontiers and development of large engineering techniques and pioneering laser and optoelectronic application as the focal point, and with high-tech innovation and basic research for application as the core mission. 

SKLPS is knowledge-based and target-oriented so as to combine the benefits of a long term generic laboratory culture in the field of precision spectroscopy with the momentum and flexibility of more intensively focused projects of both fundamental and applied relevance. The laboratory has been primarily aiming at research in the spectroscopy with high sensitivity, resolution and precision. Five cornerstone areas of competence have been identified and are now serving as the backbone for projects as follows:

• lPrecision spectroscopy by optical field control in time/frequency domain;

• lPrecision spectroscopy of atoms and molecules;

• lUltra-sensitive spectroscopy;

• lCross-study of precision spectroscopy with other research fields;

• lFrontier theoretical study of precision spectroscopy.
