当前，光子领域的各项科技成果转化正如火如荼进行中。在前不久于上海举办的好望角科学沙龙光 子专场活动上，逾百名科学家、科技企业创始人、投资机构负责人等齐聚，共同探讨如何进一步推动光 子领域科技成果转化。与会人员认为，一套好的"算法"能让科技成果在产业化之路上"少撞南墙"。 科技日报记者 付丽丽 他们讨论的"算法"并非数学计算，而是一种对于科学的科技成果转化路径的生动比喻。 主讲嘉宾，中国科学院上海光机所所长、党委副书记张龙认为："高校院所年科研经费近万亿，但 成果转化率却不足5%。问题不在于缺乏技术，而在于科技成果转化方式不够'好用'。" 为此，张龙以杭州光学精密机械研究所为例，分享了"算法"的具体实践。其核心是构建"吸聚—孵 化—投资—转化"生态，并遵循科技成果的"选—育—嫁"逻辑。 "选"即专家"选种"，通过技术委员会、投资顾问委员会等机制确保项目"选得准"；"育"是关键环 节，通过技术研发中心、专业化投资平台和公共服务体系进行"育苗"，确保"育得良"；"嫁"则是通过专 业投资与转移转化中心"择优移栽"，确保"嫁得对"。自2019年成立以来，杭州光学精密机械研究所已引 进60余个技术团队，汇聚600余名研发 ...

西安高新区的无尘车间里，陕西光电子先导院科技有限公司总经理杨军红指着刚刚通线的西北地区首条 8英寸硅光中试线说："这条线一贯通，我们将缩短光电、硅光客户的流片周期约30%，加速客户技术迭 代与产品升级。" 在全球光子产业竞争版图中，中试环节长期是制约创新的瓶颈。杨军红指出，全球硅光中试资源大多集 中在欧美企业手中，国内企业依托国外平台流片需支付高昂费用，且面临流片周期长、产能优先供给受 限等问题。 日前，陕西"追光计划"迎来标志性突破——西北地区首条8英寸硅光中试线在陕西光电子先导院正式通 线。这个投资7.5亿元的平台，不仅填补了区域硅光芯片中试领域空白，更成为陕西打造千亿级光子产 业集群的核心支点。 作为陕西光子产业的关键推手，光电子先导院正在探索一条从实验室到市场的独特路径。 破解中试困境 创新"平台+基金"模式 运营中试平台面临天然的商业挑战——设备利用率低，单纯依靠流片服务难以实现盈亏平衡。对此，光 电子先导院探索出了独特的"平台+基金"模式。 "我们是产业基金的LP，基金本身对项目有赋能作用，平台对项目也有技术以及产业加速的赋能作用。 项目发展快，我们有股权投资的收益，这部分股权投资的收益能弥补平台 ...

● 本报记者何昱璞 陕西光电子先导院的定位正是填补这一市场缝隙。杨军红表示，平台有意愿帮助创新主体进行从研发到 中试的小批量订单服务，而这正是大型量产工厂通常不愿承接的。 "我们不是要做抄答案的人，我们要做给答案的人。"杨军红表示，光电子先导院不追求简单的模式复 制，而是致力于解决行业真实痛点。 这一战略已初见成效。8英寸硅光平台刚刚通线，就与10余家头部企业达成意向合作协议，并吸引了多 家外地企业聚集陕西。深圳瑞识智能科技有限公司董事长汪洋评价："在陕西进行中试，排队时间短、 效率高，速度比在国外快数倍。" 创新"平台+基金"模式 西安高新区的无尘车间里，陕西光电子先导院科技有限公司总经理杨军红指着刚刚通线的西北地区首条 8英寸硅光中试线说："这条线一贯通，我们将缩短光电、硅光客户的流片周期约30%，加速客户技术迭 代与产品升级。" 日前，陕西"追光计划"迎来标志性突破——西北地区首条8英寸硅光中试线在陕西光电子先导院正式通 线。这个投资7.5亿元的平台，不仅填补了区域硅光芯片中试领域空白，更成为陕西打造千亿级光子产 业集群的核心支点。 作为陕西光子产业的关键推手，光电子先导院正在探索一条从实验室到市场的独 ...
