In order to cultivate highquality composite emerging engineers who are both red and expert and in line with the development of the times, this paper integrates the research content that is highly relevant to the course into the classroom teaching of optical communication courses, in order to improve the quality and effectiveness of teaching. At the same time, introducing ideological and political content into the curriculum enables students to shape correct worldviews, outlooks on life, and values. This design innovatively integrates course content, ideological and political elements, and scientific research content in an organic and interdependent manner. The introduction of specific research achievements and specific teaching courses are put forward, and there is a close theoretical relationship between them, which provides specific and physical content for the course and forms a new interest incentive point. The integration of theory and experiment and overallimproving method are carried out, based on which, the innovative classroom is put forward. Concrete ideological and political goals and elements which closely linked to the curriculum and research content have been proposed. The strategy of vertical and horizontal evaluation are employed at the same time, can reflect the teaching results more accurately. The overall evaluation results in the past three years show that the project has achieved effective improvement in teaching effectiveness.
