Five technology directions

1. Integrated fusion diagnostic measurement and control

Diagnostic modules, data acquisition, signal processing, parameter reconstruction and device feedback-control interfaces are combined for plasma density, current-related parameters and other diagnostic needs. Existing measurement capabilities underpin continuing multi-parameter measurement and control-data coordination to support device-state analysis, commissioning and feedback control.

2. AI simulator development

For fusion-plasma modeling and diagnostic analysis, the company plans to combine measured diagnostic data, physical models and AI methods to develop parameter reconstruction, state prediction and operational-scenario assessment. Density, temperature and magnetic-field distribution are among the target parameters, supporting diagnostic-scheme design, system testing and device-operation research.

3. Fusion diagnostic verification and testing platform

Existing diagnostic testing and calibration capabilities support development of a standardized verification platform, integrating diagnostic calibration, optical alignment, integrated measurement and control, and vacuum-testing conditions. Measurement-data acquisition, performance comparison and system-adaptation validation provide a common testing baseline for pre-deployment scheme assessment and subsequent upgrades.

4. Terahertz application productization

Terahertz source, detection, imaging and software-algorithm capabilities developed for fusion diagnostics are translated into active personnel-screening instruments, industrial NDT and related products. Prototype development, application testing, software optimization, design finalization and production-process improvements enhance reliability, standardization and batch-delivery capabilities, advancing pilot applications toward productization.

5. Terahertz 6G communication modules

Research covers terahertz signal generation, reception and high-frequency circuit integration, advancing communication modules based on solid-state multiplier sources and heterodyne receivers for point-to-point high-speed transmission and satellite communications. Design and testing have been completed; subsequent commercialization is linked to communication-network and satellite deployment.
