The Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics (CIOMP), Chinese Academy of Sciences, has successfully developed a silicon carbide (SiC) single mirror blank – a vital component for creating a large-scale telescope.
Professor Songnan Qu and his team at CIOMP have developed strong orange emissive carbon nanodots (CNDs) with a fluorescent quantum yield of up to 46% – almost double that previously achieved for long-wavelength emissive CNDs. This work was recently published in the journal Advanced Materials.
To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Optical Society of America (OSA), the world’s oldest and most influential optical organization, and to commemorate the first Chinese Aerospace Day, CIOMP held a widely visited Open Day on 24 April. Under the theme of “Science and technological innovation, dreams of the future”, the event was the second CIOMP and International Optoelectronic Innovation Cluster Open Day.
The second list of national maker space has been published by the Torch Center of Science & Technology Department, recently. CIOMP-T2T Entrepreneurship Studio is on the list with other six Jilin maker spaces.
To mark the first Chinese Aerospace Day in 2016, the provincial Department of Industry and CIOMP jointly organized a series of popular science activities, which also marks the second open day celebrating CIOMP’s International Optoelectronic Innovation Cluster.
Each year, the Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE) elects a limited number of distinguished and extraordinary scientists to be SPIE Fellows. In 2016 SPIE bestowed this honor to CIOMP Vice President Professor ZHANG Xuejun. Prof. ZHANG was one of only 32 scientists from around the world and the only scientist from China or the Asia-Pacific to be elected this year.
