    Fanchuangwei High-Transparency Optical AR Lens Project Lands in Taizhou with Total Investment of About RMB 550 Million

    Shanghai Fanchuangwei Technology's high-transparency optical AR glasses lens project has settled in Huangyan, Taizhou, to be carried out in two phases by Fanke Technology (Taizhou), with total investment of about RMB 550 million. Phase one, at about RMB 150 million, plans to complete an innovation center and pilot production line by 2027. Phase two, at about RMB 400 million, targets annual output of 100 tonnes of high-purity silicon carbide optical material by 2028. Aimed at AI glasses and AR terminals, the project covers the full chain from optical materials and etching processes to optical devices.

    Why we recommend it: The source gives the investment figures for both phases, production line timelines and a target of 100 tonnes of silicon carbide optical material per year, useful for gauging the pace of silicon carbide waveguide industrialization.

    Industry Analysis: Silicon Carbide Waveguides Shift from Performance Option to Mass Production Essential

    An OFweek article analyzes how silicon carbide optical waveguides are moving from an alternative AR performance material to a core element of mass production, with materials, chips and modules all scaling up simultaneously. It cites actions including Aifalong's oversubscribed Series B round of more than 100 million yuan to build an 8-inch silicon carbide metasurface optical waveguide chip production line, Guangna Siwei's financing of nearly 200 million yuan, and Goertek Optics' F50Se module achieving a 50-degree field of view. The author believes cost, processing yield and supply chain maturity remain the three hurdles before large-scale deployment, with the current average price of a SiC waveguide chip at 250-350 US dollars.

    SIOM Achieves Deep-Subwavelength Long-Wave Infrared Absorption and Thermal Emission Control

    A team at the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics (SIOM) proposed and validated a lithography-free Cr/a-GST/Bi planar metal-insulator-metal absorber based on an ultrahigh-refractive-index material. With a total thickness of only 550nm, it achieves high absorption and thermal emission control across the 8-14μm long-wave infrared band.

    Why we recommend it: The original article presents a lithography-free, ultra-thin long-wave infrared absorber, relevant to infrared stealth and thermal management devices
