The "Frontier Blue Book on Photon Technology" jointly released by the Xi'an Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other organizations shows that from 2014 to 2023, China has made significant progress in various fields in the global photonics industry, with Chinese scientists taking the lead in the number of publications.

Silicon photonics technology is a new generation technology based on silicon and silicon-based substrate materials, using existing CMOS processes for the development and integration of optical devices, providing an ideal platform for the integration of photonics and microelectronics. According to Futu Securities research reports, silicon photonics technology's CMOS process compatibility, high integration, and waveguide characteristics have potential applications in many fields, such as smart driving, optical computing, consumer electronics, with significant development space.

According to the Financial Data Center, among related listed companies:

Sai Microelectronics Inc. manufactures silicon photonics chips applied in both the communication and computing sectors. The silicon photonics chip manufacturing technology of its overseas MEMS production line is relatively mature and has been supplying to well-known European and American manufacturers for a long time.

Lingyun Light's optical communication business represents silicon photonics products that can achieve high-speed optical transmission of 200G/400G/800G and above.
