Abstract: The optical information industry, as a fundamental, leading, and cutting-edge technology industry in the field of new-generation information technology, has emerged as the “high ground” contested by major global technological and digital powers. This paper systematically investigates the current state of development of China’s optical information industry, drawing on the technological development paths and industrial innovation models in the optical information field of developed economies such as Europe, the United States, Japan, and South Korea. Guided by the “dual-ecosystem synergy” theoretical framework, it constructs the development paths of “technological ecosystem upgrading” and “application ecosystem expansion” for the optical information industry. The paper has proposed policy support measures, including improving the development plan for the optical information industry, refining the innovation organization model, establishing a whole cycle innovation service for the transformation of optical information technology, accelerating the improvement of legal and regulatory oversight systems, enhancing the financing guarantee system for future technologies, and creating a specialized talent resource pool, in order to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for the innovative development of China’s optical information industry.

Key words: Optical Information; Future Industrial Development; Dual-ecosystem Synergy; Development Path; Policy Guarantee
