英国在激光和电光技术方面的研究和革新有悠久历史和辉煌业迹。激光技术的许多早期开创性工作都是在英国大学和其它研究机构进行的。自激光被认为是一种关键起动技术以来,英国理应在若干高技术产业和普通制造业方面大有进展。可悲的是,事实并非如此,英国激光产业至今仍然很小,很多原由英国领先的发展研究正被其它国家用以制成产品出售。由于这些事例在很多技术领域反复重演(英国革新,但并未开发利用),因此分析英国激光产业相对衰退的原因,找出前进的道路就很重要。目前,英国主要激光产品供应商的国内市场狭小,而且还在衰退。激光产业部门的估计表明,1990年的总贸易额比1989年下降20%,
The UK has a long history and glorious career in research and innovation in laser and electro-optical technologies. Many of the early pioneering work of laser technology was conducted at UK universities and other research institutions. Since the laser was considered as a key starting technology, the UK should make great progress in several high-tech industries and general manufacturing industries. Sadly, this is not the case. The UK laser industry is still very small. Many of the UK’s leading development studies are being used to make products for sale in other countries. Since these examples are repeatedly repeated in many technical fields (British innovation, but not developed), it is important to analyze the causes of the relative decline of the UK laser industry and find out the way forward. At present, the domestic market for major laser product suppliers in the UK is small and still declining. The estimates of the laser industry sector indicate that the total trade volume in 1990 fell by 20% from 1989.
