分析了玻璃的发展历史和研究现状,指出其未来发展趋势：低维化、复合化以及集成化。提出了玻璃微结构的形成机制和调控规律以及玻璃微结构对外场的响应机制和功能化原理是实现具有高新功能玻璃材料与器件必须解决的两个关键科学问题。简要介绍了在飞秒激光诱导玻璃功能微结构以及实现超宽带光放大新型玻璃方面的探索性工作。

Research history and recent research development status of glasses are reviewed. It is pointed out that glasses with low-dimensional, hybrid and integrated structures will be the future development tendencies of glasses. It is necessary to solve two key scientific problems: formation mechanisms and controlling rules of glass microstructure, and response mechanism to external field and functionalization principle of glass microstructure for the realization of novel glasses with high performance. Our recent research development on the femtosecond laser induced functional microstructures and novel glasses for superbroad band optical amplification is also briefly introduced.
