OFweek Optical Communications Network News On the morning of May 9, at the National Convention Center in Beijing, the 2016 Conference to Commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Invention of Optical Fiber was grandly held here.
Optical fiber has changed the world and is developing at a speed of thousands of kilometers per hour around the world. China has become the largest optical fiber producer and application country.
Zhongtian Technology, as one of the earliest manufacturing companies in my country to enter optical fiber communications, has provided a total of 155.2 million core kilometers of optical fiber in the past 24 years, which is equivalent to circling the earth 3,880 times.
In 1966, based on long-term research, Mr. Kao Kun published a research paper titled "Dielectric Fiber Surface Waveguide for Optical Frequencies", which was groundbreaking. He proposed the basic principle of using quartz glass to make optical fibers (optical fibers for short) and applying them in communications. An epoch-making communication method was born, which had an important and far-reaching impact on human information society. He himself also won the 2009 Annual Nobel Prize in Physics.
In just a few decades, optical fiber networks have spread all over the world. In 2015, the optical communications industry continued to prosper, and the market performance was remarkable.
The performance of the five major communication equipment manufacturers is booming across the board. Data centers are leading a new trend in the development of optical components. Demand for optical fiber and cables is still strong. Domestic manufacturers are accelerating the development of new overseas markets.
The China Academy of Information and Communications Technology released the top ten trends in the information and communications industry in 2016, indicating that as the world's most important research and development,As an important branch of production and demand, China is expected to catch up with South Korea and Japan in 2016 and build the world's leading "optical fiber"-led broadband network. The proportion of optical fiber broadband network users will reach 70% to 75%. China may become the world's largest "Fibre Nation".
Zhongtian Technology has now formed a complete industrial chain of optical cables, optical fibers, and optical fiber preforms, especially large-size fully synthetic optical fiber preforms with completely independent intellectual property rights. It has made significant contributions to the development of my country's information industry.
2016 coincides with the 50th anniversary of the invention of optical fiber. The Chinese Optical Engineering Society and the Optical Society of America (OSA) co-sponsored a conference to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the invention of optical fiber.
During the conference, Wu Hequan, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Zhao Zisen, the father of China's optical fiber and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, inspected the Zhongtian Technology booth. While communicating with relevant people from Zhongtian Technology, they expressed their opinions on the technological progress of Zhongtian optical fiber preforms. express appreciation.
Liu Zhizhong, general manager of Zhongtian Technology Optical Fiber Co., Ltd., led a delegation to attend this event. Dr. Jiang Xinli, chief technology officer of Zhongtian Technology, and other engineering and technical personnel demonstrated optical fiber at the conference New products and new technologies gathered in Beijing with well-known domestic and foreign academicians, experts and scholars, and representatives of the industry to commemorate the profound impact of this invention on the world and look forward to the latest development trends of future technology and new industrial growth points.
