Recently, my country's laser equipment industry has achieved a series of breakthroughs. The national optical wavelength quantum benchmark has been successfully established, and the development of a new laser direct-write lithography machine has been successfully implemented. Simultaneously, guided by policies, laser technology is accelerating its expansion into emerging scenarios such as embodied intelligence and the low-altitude economy. Domestic substitution has entered a deeper phase, and the industry as a whole is showing a high-quality development trend characterized by "technological breakthroughs, scenario expansion, and a complete industrial chain."

Breakthroughs in core technologies have become the core driving force for industry development. The State Administration for Market Regulation recently organized a scientific and technological team to successfully develop and obtain approval for the establishment of a new national optical wavelength quantum benchmark, with overall technology reaching the international advanced level. This benchmark covers a wavelength range of 500nm to 2350nm, with an uncertainty level of 1.0×10⁻¹³, ​​improving the reproduction accuracy of the basic unit of length (meter) by two orders of magnitude and expanding the measurement range by approximately 200,000 times. It effectively solves the pain points of narrow measurement range and insufficient accuracy of traditional single-point wavelength benchmarks, marking my country as the third country, after the United States and Germany, to independently develop and complete multi-wavelength synchronous locking, providing solid metrological technical support for key areas such as high-end equipment manufacturing, quantum sensing, and fiber optic communication. Meanwhile, research institutions have successfully developed a 10,000-channel 3D nanolaser direct-write lithography machine. Employing two-photon laser direct-write technology, it achieves over 10,000 independently controllable laser focal points, a processing precision of sub-30 nanometers, a processing speed of 42.7 square millimeters per minute, and a maximum writing size covering 12-inch silicon wafers. This provides crucial technological support for fields such as ultra-resolution lithography and photonic chip manufacturing.

In the international forefront of technology, significant progress has also been made in the development of novel lasers. An international research team has developed a compact short-pulse laser with an energy conversion efficiency of up to 80%, far exceeding the approximately 35% conversion efficiency of current similar products. This system, only a few square centimeters in size and fits in the palm of a hand, can generate pulses shorter than 50 femtoseconds. It is expected to be widely used in medical diagnosis, gas sensing, quantum science, and other fields, opening new avenues for the development of portable and economical laser devices. Domestically, research teams have also made breakthroughs in several key technologies, developing a novel laser source with freely adjustable emission wavefronts. By rotating the eccentric aperture of the core structure, the laser beam shape can be adjusted as needed, exhibiting extremely low speckle noise. Simultaneously, breakthroughs have been achieved in the field of air lasers, successfully inducing 391nm N laser radiation in 1 atm of air, solving the air laser quenching problem and providing technical support for laser detection and other scenarios.

Policy support and industrial collaboration have injected strong momentum into the industry's development. In recent years, my country has intensively introduced a number of support policies for the laser equipment industry, forming a multi-level policy guidance system covering technological breakthroughs, reliability improvement, equipment upgrades, and regional layout. Since 2023, relevant departments have successively listed high-power lasers as a key area for improvement, promoted the priority replacement of laser welding machines and other equipment in the power battery industry, and included fiber laser equipment manufacturing in the encouraged industries of western regions, providing a solid institutional guarantee for the industry's domestic substitution and high-quality development. Meanwhile, the domestic industrial cluster effect is becoming increasingly prominent. Multiple industrial clusters have formed complete industrial chains from core materials and components to high-end applications, driving the deep transformation of laser equipment from "complete machine integration" to "independent control of core components," further reducing supply chain costs and enhancing the industry's core competitiveness.

The diversified expansion of application scenarios has become a new highlight of industry growth. Laser technology is gradually moving out of factory workshops and penetrating more emerging fields. In the field of embodied intelligence, laser equipment has begun to be combined with humanoid robots, potentially replacing manual labor in dangerous environments such as civil defense, security, and emergency rescue. In the low-altitude economy, high-beam-quality lasers can accurately intercept unauthorized drones, achieving an upgrade in security and prevention. In the consumer market, miniaturized laser equipment is rapidly emerging. Some products are more than 60% smaller and lighter than conventional industrial products, with the smallest model only the size of a book, suitable for home creative projects, personalized engraving, and other civilian applications, significantly lowering the barrier to entry for laser technology. In the industrial sector, the integration of laser technology and AI is evident. Intelligent welding systems can integrate functions such as penetration depth measurement and visual recognition, adjusting welding parameters within 5 milliseconds to achieve high-precision, intelligent processing. These systems are widely used in high-end manufacturing scenarios such as new energy batteries and automotive body-in-white.

Industry experts point out that the global laser equipment industry is currently at a critical juncture of technological revolution and industrial transformation, with the market exhibiting a "K-shaped" differentiation trend. High-end manufacturing and emerging applications are becoming the core drivers of growth. In the future, the industry will continue to focus on three main directions: breakthroughs in core components, the integration of AI and optoelectronics, and the expansion into emerging scenarios. This will further overcome technological bottlenecks, promote the upgrading of laser equipment towards intelligence, miniaturization, and diversification, while accelerating the process of domestic substitution, and propelling my country's laser industry steadily from a major manufacturing nation to a technologically and industrially strong nation.
