As the era of quantum computing and artificial intelligence gradually approaches, the demand for photon chips is rapidly increasing, making it the next fiercely contested high ground. No country in the world has yet built a complete photonic integration ecosystem, which provides a significant opportunity for China to take the lead in the post-Moore era. This talk will introduce the efforts made by our team to grasp the opportunities of the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, focusing on the new track of photonic chips. We are dedicated to meeting the integration demand of the new generation of information technology fields, with the development of photonic chips as the core, and concentrate on cutting-edge technologies and industrial applications such as quantum computing, photonic computing, and optical interconnect. We have developed a new generation of femtosecond laser direct writing threedimensional photonic chip technology and CMOS-compatible thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) high-speed photonic chip technology, mastering the full chain of techniques from design and wafer fabrication to packaging and testing. Based on the underlying chip technology, we have conducted a series of innovative research and facilitated the transition from cutting-edge science to industry. We have also established the first domestic pilot line for photonic chips and incubated several companies that have completed multiple rounds of financing.
