TheChangchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics (CIOMP;Chinese:长春光学精密机械与物理研究所), of theChinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), is a state research institution inChangchun,Jilin,China.
It was founded in 1952 as theInstitute of Instrumentation of the CAS, by a group of scientists led byWang Daheng. It was later renamed as theChangchun Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics. The current name was adopted in 1999 when the institute was merged with theChangchun Institute of Physics, headed byXu Xurong.[1]
Under the leadership of Wang Daheng, the institute played a crucial role in the development of China's strategic weapons, developing high-precision optics formissile guidance systems. It made major breakthroughs for thesubmarine-launched ballistic missile program.[2] In December 2025,Reuters reported that the institute had achieved a breakthrough in integrating extreme ultraviolet light into a prototypeextreme ultraviolet lithography machine's optical system in early 2025, allowing it to become functional.[3]
The institute focuses onluminescence, applied optics,optical engineering, and precision mechanics and instruments.[1] It is involved in a number of technology ventures based out of the nearby CAS Changchun Optoelectronics Industrial Park with total assets worth US$403 million.[1][4]
The institute offers undergraduate, master's and doctoral education programs.[1]
The institute developed theBilibili Video Satellite, launched in September 2020.[5]

The institute includes theChang Guang Satellite TechnologyCorporation (Charming Globe or CGSTL), a commercial offshoot of the institute which manufacturesremote sensingsatellite buses andunmanned aerial vehicles (drones).[7][8] Chang Guang Satellite Technology ownsJilin-1 satellite constellation.[9] In September 2024, it launched six Jilin Kuanfu satellites.[10]
In 2023, the United States imposed sanctions on Chang Guang Satellite Technology for providinggeospatial intelligence toWagner Group during theRussian invasion of Ukraine.[6]
According to theUnited States Department of State, Chang Guang Satellite Technology Corporation provides geospatial intelligence to theHouthis to target U.S. warships in theRed Sea crisis.[6][11][12]
The images were credited to Chang Guang Satellite Technology, China's first commercial remote sensing satellite company, which owns the Jilin-1 satellites.
