China Launches Its First Photonic Chip Pilot Line Accompanied by Breakthrough Research Initiatives

China is making significant strides in photonic chip technology, essential for high-bandwidth and energy-efficient data transmission in the digital age. The Wuxi Photonic Chip Research Institute recently launched the country’s first domestic photonic chip pilot line, anticipated to produce 10,000 wafers annually, with external fabrication services set to roll out by early 2025. Moreover, innovations include the development of a 12-inch lithium niobate crystal in Jinan and the creation of mass-producible “optical silicon” chips by researchers at the Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology. Tsinghua University has also made headlines with its “Taiji-II” optical training chip for neural networks, further advancing optical computing capabilities. Additionally, a collaborative team from Peking University has successfully produced a fully programmable topological photonic chip, showcasing the potential of integrated optical technology. As these advancements unfold, they underscore China’s commitment to leading in the photonics sector amidst rising global demand for efficient data processing technologies.
