Since entering the industry in 2018, I've often been asked the same question: Why do domestic optical companies, despite having world-class hardware, still struggle to deliver high-end products? The answer often lies in the overlooked "talent gap." The following three real-world cases reveal the "hidden costs" the precision optics industry pays every day:

In precision optical assembly and adjustment, we often encounter this "awkward" situation: the subsystem under test itself does not possess independent imaging capabilities, the emitted wavefront is extremely cluttered, and the interferometer simply cannot identify valid data. If your work is in the following scenario, you may be familiar with the frustration of this "blind testing."

From classical interferometry to diffraction compensation, from direct measurement to slope derivation, a plethora of technical terms emerge. For decision-makers, choosing the wrong approach not only means wasting millions of dollars in equipment investment but can also potentially drag down the entire R&D cycle. How can we navigate this complex toolbox and find the key to success? In fact, the fundamental principles remain the same. To help you understand more clearly, we've moved beyond a simple list of equipment and, starting from the two intersecting axes of "surface shape to be measured" and "physical measurement dimension," we've outlined a comprehensive and robust logical framework for optical inspection.

In the field of precision optical inspection, computer-generated holograms (CGHs) are hailed as the "standard" for inspecting aspherical and freeform surfaces. However, in practical applications, engineers often face a crucial choice: amplitude-type CGH or phase-type CGH? This is not only a difference in manufacturing process but also relates to the material properties of the test piece and its ability to suppress stray light. Today, Zhixing Optics will provide an in-depth analysis of the core differences between these two types of CGHs.

As spring blossoms, a delegation from Panasonic's UA3P marketing and sales team, a renowned global player in precision measurement, officially visited Ningbo Zhixing Optics Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Zhixing Optics"). Dr. Guo Chengli, founder of Zhixing Optics and an expert in optical inspection, led the core technical team in a warm welcome. The two sides engaged in in-depth discussions on the future trends and technical details of ultra-precision optical measurement. As a benchmark for ultra-precision aspherical surface measurement instruments, the Panasonic UA3P series enjoys a high reputation in the industry. This visit to Zhixing Optics aimed to strengthen information sharing and collaboration between the two companies in high-end optical inspection technologies.

In the global automotive industry's deep transformation towards electrification, intelligence, and connectivity, new energy vehicles are reshaping the industry landscape in an irreversible manner. By 2025, the sales of new energy vehicles in China will exceed 16 million units, with a penetration rate of 47.9%; in 2026, the industry will enter a new stage where both the competition of existing stocks and technological leapfrogging coexist, and the sales are expected to exceed 19 million units, with a penetration rate of over 50%. From policy-driven benefits to independent technological innovation, from single electrification to the dual-wheel drive of "electricity + intelligence", new energy vehicles have become the core engine driving industrial upgrading and building a green transportation system. Against this backdrop, precision optics, as the core foundation for intelligent vehicles' perception, decision-making, and interaction, is enjoying unprecedented development opportunities.
