Cai Zuquan (1924—2009) was born in Yuhang, Zhejiang. Professor, outstanding expert of electric light source, national model worker. He has served as director of the Institute of Electric Light Source of Fudan University and vice president of Fudan University.
In the early 1960s, we began to research and develop new electric light sources, and developed more than ten kinds of new electric light sources, such as high-pressure mercury lamp, long-arc xenon lamp, high-pressure sodium lamp and compact and efficient energy-saving lamp, which promoted the leap-forward development of electric light sources in China.
He has won more than ten awards such as the second prize of national scientific invention. He was the first vice-chairman of chinese optical society and China Light Industry Society, the vice-chairman of Shanghai Science and Technology Association, the chairman of Shanghai Lighting Society and the vice-chairman of China Lighting Society.

Cai Zuquan's new electric light invention;
1963 the first high-pressure mercury lamp in China was successfully developed; 1964, China successfully developed 1000 watt tungsten halogen lamp. Since then, pulse xenon lamp, hydrogen arc lamp, krypton spectrum lamp, ultra-high pressure xenon lamp, iodine-filled tungsten lamp, ultra-high pressure mercury lamp and so on 10 have been developed one after another, which greatly shortened the gap between the research level of electric light source in China and the world.
Among them, after the long arc xenon lamp was ignited in Shanghai People's Square, this 100KW "artificial small sun" was called the "lamp of disappointment" of Chinese people. 25 kW water-cooled electrode short arc xenon lamp is used as the light source of the large-scale space environment simulation equipment "Sun Simulator" of the Ministry of Aerospace Industry. Since 1985, China people have developed their own series of energy-saving fluorescent lamps.
