摘　　要：简要回顾了广义相对论中相关的引力波理论,讨论了对引力波进行探测的重要意义和几种可能的途径;系统介绍了近50年来国际上对引力波进行探测的主要活动,以及当前几个具有代表性的引力波望远镜工程的进展。General theory of Einstein＇s relativity predicts the existence of gravitational wave when mass is accelerated. However, no material has direct effect when the gravitational wave passes. Therefore, gravitational wave can only be detected indirectly. The effort in gravitational wave detection was started in the 60s of last century by using a huge cylinder of aluminum. This paper introduced all the relevant projects in the gravitational wave detection. These projects in- clude Weber＇s bar, Laser interferometer Gravitational wave Detector （LGD）, Laser Interferometer Gravitational wave Observatory （LIGO）, GEO600, VIRGO, TAMA300, Advanced LIGO, Large scale Cryogenic Gravitational wave Telescope （LCGO）, and Laser Interferometer Space Antenna （LISA）.
