科创中国

2月15日，CGTN（中国国际电视台）在THE WORLD TODAY（今日世界）新闻栏目以《引领之光，中国光谷加速创新》为题，走进华工科技、国创科等光谷企业、实验室，专题报道光谷光电子信息产业发展独树一帜，向全球讲述光谷创新故事，以下为全文转载（译文供参考）。

Nicknamed China's "Optics Valley", a major fibre-optics research and development zone in Wuhan has been at the forefront of numerous scientific breakthroughs in recent decades. Our reporter Huang Yichang reports on the plans for the future, and some of the technology currently in development.

近年来，“中国光谷”，一个位于中国武汉的重要光电子信息产业基地，一直走在众多科学突破的最前沿。来听我们的记者黄怡畅报道这里正在开发的高新技术及其未来发展。

Huang Yichang Wuhan, China "I'm in Wuhan's Optics Valley, the birthplace of the Chinese optoelectronic industry. How are those working in the industry helping to develop the next generation of advanced technologies? Let's take a look."

黄怡畅：“我现在在武汉的中国光谷，中国光电子产业的发源地。那些在该行业工作的人是如何开发下一代先进技术的？我们来看一下。”

I visited a laboratory for an optoelectronic information company. A team here is going for the final rounds of testing before their latest transceiver modules start being mass-produced this year.

我参观了一家光电信息公司（华工科技）的实验室。这里的一个团队正在进行最后一轮测试，他们最新的收发器模块今年将开始批量生产。

The company has been developing silicon photonics chips for four years, and the 800G chip is the latest and most advanced. It may sound high-tech far from daily life, but it can be applied in more areas than you might think.

这些是硅光子芯片，该公司已经开发了四年，这个800G硅光芯片是最新、最先进的版本。这听起来可能是远离日常生活的高科技，但实际上它们的应用领域比你想象的要多。

CHEN PENG, Senior Engineer from HGTECH CO., LTD. says 'Online activities such as video watching, gaming or conferencing require a large amount of data; such module is essential for data devices.'

华工科技高级工程师陈鹏：“观看视频、视频游戏或会议等网络活动，需要传输大量数据。这样的模块对于数据设备来说，是必不可少的。”

With mass production of the 800Gigbit optical module due to start this year, the business has already begun working on new-generation products, aiming to accelerate domestic photonic chip replacement.

随着今年800G硅光模块开始量产，该公司已经开始致力于开发新一代产品，加速国内光芯片的更新换代。

HUANG YICHANG Wuhan, China "It's not just large businesses. Start-ups and new ventures are also grabbing headlines."

黄怡畅：不仅仅是大企业，初创企业和新企业也屡屡成为头条新闻。

In this laboratory at Huazhong university, Professor Chen Jiankui and his team have been researching new developments in Inkjet printing for 16 years. But while scientific research is one thing – turning it into a commercial product is more challenging.

在华中科技大学的实验室里，陈建魁教授和他的团队16年来一直在研究新型显示喷印技术的新发展。但是，虽然科学研究是一回事，但将其转化为商业产品则更具挑战性。

CHEN JIANKUI, Huazhong University of Science and Technology "We needed a manufacturing plant in order to take our newly developed equipment out of the campus lab and onto the production line."

陈建魁：我们需要一个制造工厂，以便把我们新开发的设备从校园实验室带到生产线上。

Their technology was seen as a potential replacement for foreign suppliers, for screen panel companies operating in optics valley.

他们的技术被视为外国供应商的潜在替代品，可应用在光谷显示面板企业中。

ZHONG FUPING, Director, Science and Technology Innovation Bureau, East Lake High-tech Development Zone "When those companies learned about the teams' progress, they were eagerly anticipating their product. Can their equipment really replace the foreign components? Along with generating economic benefits, more importantly, it will consolidate a safety framework for the industry."

东湖高新区科创局局长钟复平：当这些公司了解到团队的进展时，他们急切地期待着他们的产品。他们的设备真的能取代国外的部件吗？在产生经济效益的同时，更重要的是，它将巩固行业供应链安全。

On learning about the team's achievement, the Local government soon invested 11 million US dollars.

当地政府在得知团队的成就后，很快就投资了1100万美元。

ZHONG FUPING, Director, Science and Technology Innovation Bureau, East Lake High-tech Development Zone "Due to Covid in recent years, our economic development has slowed down, and our local financial budget has also been affected. Still, the funding for supporting research and innovation has been doubled and redoubled year by year."

钟复平：即使在财政预算收紧的情况下，我们支持研究和创新的资金还是每年都在翻番。

Take a look at this newly built manufacturing base. The interior construction has just finished, and the screen-printing technology has been added to the production line.

来看看这个新建的制造业基地，内部装修刚刚完成，屏幕喷印技术已经应用到了生产线上。

CHEN JIANKUI, Huazhong University of Science and Technology "We have gone from zero to one and are looking forward to the journey from one to infinity."

陈建魁：我们已经实现了从0到1，期待着从一到无穷。

Chen says there is still a long way to go. China has become the world's top producer of display panels but is relatively weak in developing the core equipment needed. But efforts are quickly being made to change that – and this is one of the places that will be key to that success.

陈建魁表示，中国已成为世界上最大的显示面板生产国，但在核心设备方面相对薄弱，还有很长的路要走。但人们正在迅速努力改变这种状况——这将是取得成功的关键之一。
