Li, M. JACoW Publishing Geneva, Switzerland HEPS, the 4th generation synchrotron radiation facility, is under construction in Beijing. The designed electron energy is 6GeV and the emittance is lower than 60pm·rad. The high-quality X-ray near diffraction limit brings unprecedented challenges to optical technology. This talk will present the progress of construction of HEPS briefly including accelerator, beamline and so on. It will be emphasized that the R&D status of X-ray optical technology at HEPS, such as optical metrology, fabrication, manipulation and so on.
