Optoelectronic information technology has become the underlying technology of the new generation of information industry, giving birth to a large number of brand - new future technologies.

Pure Mind Control, 6G Technology, New Structure Optical Fiber... At the 2024 China Optics Valley · Optoelectronic Information Industry Innovation and Development Conference on May 16, many top scientists from around the world shared the latest cutting - edge technologies in the world and outlined a new vision of future technology.

The Light Source Brightness Can Reach 10 Million Times That of an Incandescent Lamp
"Since I left in 2018, coming to Optics Valley this time, I have seen many new changes." Philip Russell, inventor of photonic crystal fiber, Fellow of the Royal Society of the United Kingdom, and Foreign Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, took the lead in speaking at the meeting.

He suggested that the continuous emergence of applications of new structure optical fibers provides unlimited possibilities for "traditional" fields such as optical fiber sensing and optical fiber communication. Relevant enterprises in Optics Valley should seize the technological "windfall" of industry leap. "The current laboratory sample of the most cutting - edge new structure optical fiber has a light source brightness that can reach 10 million times that of an incandescent lamp, and its light transmission speed is 1.5 times that in air, which is very much in line with the needs of future industries for high - bandwidth and low - latency information transmission."

"Wuhan is at the forefront of the country in the construction of gigabit cities, and this year it has officially launched the construction of '10 - gigabit cities'. F5G (the fifth generation fixed network) can play a big role in it." Chen Banghua, President of the Optical Product Line of Huawei, introduced that relying on the local advantages of the optoelectronic information industry, Huawei will join hands with Wuhan to create a "10 - gigabit city", build various application scenarios such as "all - optical schools" and "all - optical factories", drive the coordinated development of the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, and help the digital "nine provinces thoroughfare" take off.

The World's First "Pure Mind Control" Robot System Is Unveiled
China has built the world's largest and technologically leading 5G network. Against this background, the research and practice of 5.5G and 6G technologies have also begun to be explored.

"At present, 5G still has a lot of room for improvement in wide coverage and low power consumption. In the future, to implement a 6G network with huge capacity, huge connections, and extensive applications, the industry still needs some transformative and subversive technologies as support." Cui Tiejun, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, introduced that in 2014, his R & D team took the lead in proposing the concept of information metamaterials in the world. After years of verification, this technology has been able to achieve flexible manipulation of electromagnetic waves in a certain space and can turn them into real - time programmable materials. "At present, the relevant technology has achieved self - control, and the wireless environment transformed by it can make the communication signal stronger and the energy consumption lower."

Brain science is a hot field of scientific and technological frontiers in the world today and is regarded as one of the important engines leading scientific and technological changes. Based on the industrial advantages and scientific and technological foundation of Optics Valley, in March this year, the China Optics Valley International Brain Science Innovation Center was officially unveiled and issued a "call for heroes" to brain science talents around the world.

"We have complete independent intellectual property rights of the world's first special codec chip for brain - machine interface, 'Brain Speaker'. The world's first 'pure mind control' artificial nerve robot system developed by our team can be used for the rehabilitation of full - limb stroke, and more than 3,000 patients have benefited." Liu Xiuyun, Vice Dean of the School of Medicine of Tianjin University, said that with the continuous progress of sensing technology and algorithms, the application market potential of brain - machine interfaces is huge, so the "capacity improvement and upgrading" of upstream optoelectronic information technology is increasingly important.
