KnowingLight·UsingLight·Creating the Future – 2025 International Day of LightKnowledge Competition Successfully Concluded

On May 15th, the lobby on the first floor of BuildingB, Area 4, Research Building at the Qingshuihe Campus of the University ofElectronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) once again hosted a splendidacademic feast – the 2025 International Day of Light Knowledge Competition.Co-organized by the Society for Information Display (SID) Chengdu Chapter andthe Chinese Optical Society (COS) UESTC Student Chapter, the competitioncentered on the theme "Knowing Light · Using Light · Creating the Future."Its aim was to spark students' interest in optical knowledge while enhancingtheir quick thinking and teamwork skills.

The competition adopted a buzzer-beater format. Thequestions covered multiple fields including physical optics, geometricaloptics, optical communication, laser technology, illumination science, anddisplay technology. The organizers meticulously prepared forty single-choicequestions (worth 1 point each for a correct answer) and twenty multiple-choicequestions (worth 2 points each for a correct answer). Participants vied toanswer by raising their hands, creating a tense and lively atmosphere. Ultimately,based on the highest scores, awards were presented: one Grand Prize, two First Prizes, four Second Prizes, and five Third Prizes, recognizing theparticipants' outstanding performances.

As thequestions were presented one by one, the contestants remained fully focused andactively answered, showcasing solid knowledge reserves and quick reflexes. Thecompetition site reached exciting climaxes, with the participants' brilliantperformances earning rounds of applause. Their enthusiasm and concentration notonly reflected their passion for the field of optics but also infused the eventwith boundless energy and excitement.

Followingthe competition, the host announced the list of winners and presented theprizes. The host congratulated all participating students and expressed specialgratitude to the COS UESTC Student Chapter, the SID Chengdu Chapter, and theBOE UESTC Club for their strong support. Their professional guidance anddedicated efforts laid a solid foundation for the event's success.

Theevent concluded with a group photo of all participants, marking a perfect endto the competition. Through this contest, the students not only consolidatedtheir knowledge of optics but also strengthened their sense of teamwork andcompetition. It is believed that in the future, they will engage in the studyand research of the optical field with even greater enthusiasm, contributingtheir strength to the development of photonic science.
