Changchun Institute of Optics,Fine Mechanics and Physics,Chinese Academy of Sciences

CIOMP was founded in 1952 focusing on luminescence, applied optics, optical engineering, and precision mechanics and instrumentation. Since CIOMP's establishment, led by a group of scientists including WANG Daheng and XU Xurong, CIOMP has developed more than a dozen “First of China” advanced instruments such as the first ruby laser and the first large theodolite, etc.CIOMP has formulated an integrated ‘Research, Industry, and Education’, and is increasing its abilities to realize the full potential of a wide range of endeavors. CIOMP now hosts an International Optoelectronic Innovation Cluster, 6 State Key Laboratories and research centers, and 2 CAS Key Laboratories. There are more than 20 high-tech companies in the CAS Changchun Optoelectronics Industrial Park with investment support from CIOMP and total assets of 403 million USD. CIOMP is also a key base for CAS graduate student education. It offers 8 masters degree programs, 6 doctoral degree programs and 3 postdoctoral programs.Partnering with Nature Publishing Group, CIOMP launched the international English language journal Light: Science & Applications in 2012. It reached a new milestone with a 2019 Impact Factor of 14.000 - placing it second in the globally competitive Optics category.Now CIOMP has obtained a close cooperation with more than 10 countries including USA, Canada, Australia, Germany and UK, etc,. In 2016 Chunlei Guo China-US Photonics Laboratory was built by CIOMP and University of Rochester in CIOMP. In future CIOMP’s focus is on research in optoelectronic technology and its application to the engineering and fabrication of precision instruments. By ensuring that our research in basic and applied optics is transformed and translated more broadly, CIOMP is aiding the development of related industries as well as nurturing a deep and valuable pool of experts.
