He was invited to give a presentation on Frequency Combs and Applications of Silicon Nitride Integrated Optical Chips, in which he introduced the important progress in the preparation, integration and applications of frequency combs on silicon nitride chips in recent years. After the presentation, a number of participants had in-depth communication with him. He highly praised this forum, This forum has built a good platform for young scholars, we are not just listening to the report here, but really communicating fully, everyone has a lot of questions, a lot of ideas, I think it's great.

The new crown epidemic did not stop the pace of scientific innovation, the special period of academic exchange opportunities also appear more precious. Thematic reports are full, in the light field regulation, quantum optics topics, many participants can only even squeeze in the door to listen to the speech; the end of each report, there are many participants to ask questions, communication; the venue is not addicted to communication, and even outside the venue, corridors, restaurants ...... everywhere you can hear the sound of academic discussions.

This forum is a little different from other academic conferences, are young scholars, everyone communicates very easily, can learn a lot of new ideas. A young man who had insisted on attending the first three forums shared his experience of attending with us.

Young scientists build the main force of optical research

Young scientists, as the most energetic scientific research group in the scientific community, are the backbone of leading the future development of science and technology, said Prof. Cai Yangjian of Shandong Normal University, Chairman of the Forum and Deputy Director of the Youth Editorial Board of China Laser Magazine, at the opening ceremony.

This breakthrough has made China the second country in the world to realize quantum superiority, which fully demonstrates the great potential and important contribution of young power in the field of optics in China.

At this year's forum, young scientists reported the latest progress and achievements in their respective research fields. As congress reports, Prof. Zhan Qiwen of University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, Prof. Chen Shuqi of Nankai University, and Prof. Song Qinghai of Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen) reported the latest research progress in the fields of novel spatio-temporal regulation method of optical field, artificial microstructure technology at very small scale, and micro-nano-lasers and photonic devices at the core of integrated electronic chips, respectively.

It is the original intention of the Young Scientists Forum that the voices of young scientists can influence the academic world, so that young scientists can speak freely regardless of seniority and position. This forum is organized by the Young Editorial Committee of China Laser Magazine (hereinafter referred to as the Young Editorial Committee), and has been successfully held for three times since 2017.

The Youth Editorial Committee of China Laser Journal gathers outstanding young scientists and technologists in China's optics industry. At the first meeting of the second Youth Editorial Committee held during the same period of the forum, nearly 70 young editorial committee members engaged in a lively discussion on the research frontiers and the development of journals. The young editorial board members are very energetic and hope to build this forum into a brand activity of Chinese optics and even world optics, attracting more young scientists at home and abroad to join and jointly promote the progress of China's optical science and technology undertakings.

In this regard, Yang Lei, general manager of China Laser Magazine, agrees very much: Young scientists have vigorous creativity, high enthusiasm, and exuberant energy in scientific research exploration, which injects fresh power and infinite vitality into the development of journals and forums.

Chinese Academy of Sciences Youth Innovation Promotion Association chairman, Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Microbiology Shi Yi researcher said, very pleased to see in the forum in the field of optics vibrant young scientists, these young scholars fighting in the front line, is the backbone of scientific research, made a great contribution to scientific research, but also need to be such a platform for innovation and exchange.

Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) Youth Innovation Promotion Association vice chairman, CAS Institute of Automation Bian Guibin researcher also said at the opening ceremony, in order to more strongly promote the development of young scientists, CAS Youth Innovation Promotion Association for young scientists to provide strong support for young scientists, to provide opportunities for young scientists to grow.
