This discipline offers research directions in energy optoelectronics, micro-nano photonics and device integration, optical imaging and three-dimensional sensing, and laser and atmospheric detection technology. The discipline adheres to serving the national and regional strategic needs in optoelectronics/electronic information, systematically conducting research on intelligent information perception, laser information technology, new energy photovoltaics, and atmospheric environmental monitoring devices, algorithms, and system integration.

In the field of optical waveguide biochemical sensing, magneto-optical sensing, and fiber optic sensing, the discipline has systematically carried out basic research and product development, earning the second prize for scientific and technological progress in Sichuan Province. To support high-performance optical communications, the discipline has developed communication optical modules with high speed, long distance, high security, high integration, and resistance to high and low temperatures, which have been widely used in related enterprise products, also winning the second prize for scientific and technological progress in Sichuan Province.

The discipline has also developed high-power fiber lasers, laser wind radars, and aerosol radars, which are widely used in domestic meteorological detection and artificial weather modification fields. Additionally, research on a new generation of high-efficiency organic solar cells and high-performance energy storage batteries is being conducted to contribute to the realization of the national low-carbon dual-carbon strategy.
