Guangzai Technology's optical sensing, optoelectronic technologies and product applications, along with related company news.
CCTV host Dong Qian interviews Xia Haiyun, chairman of Guangzai Technology, a company incubated by the Hangzhou Institute of Optics and Mechanics, on the program Trust in China, discussing the path of independent innovation in domestic LiDAR.
Six companies incubated by the Hangzhou Institute of Optics — Kaisis Technology, Guangzhiyun, Guangzai Technology, Aijie Optoelectronics, Bangqizhou and Gaoxi Thermal — have been included in the proposed first batch of Hangzhou's "Promising Seedlings" enterprises. Kaisis Technology was also included in the proposed list of Hangzhou's 2025 "New Eaglet" enterprises. The selected companies work in areas including cold-atom clocks, optical intelligent algorithms, LiDAR, silicon photonic chips and metasurface optical devices.
Guangzai Technology, a company incubated by HIOM, collaborated with the University of Cambridge, Southeast University and others to publish a paper in Sustainable Cities and Society proposing SCE-Model, a spatiotemporal carbon emission model optimized with machine learning and validated by LiDAR. Model outputs showed strong agreement with coherent differential absorption LiDAR observations (R² = 0.79; ±5 ppm), enabling hourly, block-level carbon emission mapping.
"Research on High-Precision, High-Sensitivity Wind Field Measurement Technology Based on Optical Frequency Comb Calibration," completed by Professor Xia Haiyun, chief scientist and founder of Guangzai Technology, has won a Second Prize in the 2024 National Defense Science and Technology Progress Award, marking a major breakthrough for Guangzai Technology in national defense science and technology awards. The award, announced by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, is the highest honor in the national defense science and technology sector. Guangzai Technology is a high-tech LiDAR company focused on the R&D and manufacturing of intelligent LiDAR systems for ground-based, airborne, shipborne and spaceborne platforms.
In the five years since it began operations, the Hangzhou Institute of Optics and Mechanics has incubated more than 60 optoelectronic 'hard tech' companies, over 20 of which have secured follow-on funding, drawing in more than 2.5 billion yuan of external capital in total. Its full-chain 'equipment + funding + talent' model, backed by a modular, standardized service system, helps scientists cross the 'valley of death' in commercializing research results. The incubated companies span fields including atmospheric laser remote sensing, gallium oxide single crystals, and cold atom clocks. The operating model was profiled by Daily Business News and republished and endorsed by several government new media platforms, including that of the Hangzhou municipal government.
