Photonics is a parallel science to electronics, which studies the behavior of photons as information carriers and energy carriers and their applications. As Moore's Law approaches its physical limits, photons will become the new trend. Photonic technology has the characteristics of fast response speed, large transmission capacity, high storage density, miniaturization and integration, which comprehensively empowers photonic application industries such as optical manufacturing, optical communication, optical display, and optical medicine, and has been valued by governments and scientists around the world.

Photonic technology is not only the "core" of information technology, but also the "speed of light engine" that runs through the development of new quality productivity, from the precision cutting of laser intelligent manufacturing to the high-speed transmission of optical communication networks, from the clear imaging of medical images to the remote sensing detection of aerospace, optoelectronic technology has already penetrated into all corners of the national economy, with unprecedented depth and breadth, injecting surging power into the transformation and upgrading of thousands of industries. From gigabit broadband access to the home to the high-speed channel of computing power for optical interconnection in data centers; From the wireless bearer network of 5G/6G base station fronthaul/midhaul backhaul to the global data backbone of transoceanic submarine optical cables, optical communication has laid the foundation for the transmission of cloud computing, AI and the Internet of Everything. 

In this context, the Advanced Photonics Technology Forum sincerely invites upstream and downstream enterprises and industry experts in the industrial chain to focus on cutting-edge technologies and applications such as optical communication, optical sensing, photonic integration, and laser manufacturing, so as to jointly promote the industrialization process of advanced photonic technology and contribute wisdom and strength to the high-quality development of global informatization, intelligence and manufacturing industry.
