Overview

Micro Optical Instruments Inc. (Chinese: 深圳网联光仪科技有限公司, often shortened to 网联光仪) is a Chinese opto-electronics company based in Shenzhen, Guangdong. It was established in November 2017 in Pingshan District, Shenzhen, and focuses on applying semiconductor lasers and infrared spectroscopy to gas detection and broader safety monitoring. The company describes itself as building a "new molecular spectrometer ecological platform" that combines laser technology with artificial intelligence to create an intelligent detection platform centered on large-scale ecological security. The company's core products include household laser (TDLAS) methane alarms and AI gas safety valves, which it markets as intelligent security devices with high sensitivity, low false-alarm rates and strong anti-interference characteristics. These are aimed at home kitchens, catering venues and industrial environments. Related gas-monitoring products are designed to form a closed-loop gas safety protection system with smart-home devices, with alerts coordinated through a smart supervision platform. The company states it is expanding into smart gas and smart city application scenarios as China's "urban lifeline" projects advance and household security demand rises. Beyond gas safety, Micro Optical Instruments positions its technology across several industry solution areas: scientific research, environmental safety, public safety, food and drug safety, and production safety. Its stated technical strengths include micro-laser technology, infrared spectroscopy, multi-operator matching algorithms, micro and intelligent system design, and big-data information sharing and analysis. Applications cited include oil pipeline gas-leak monitoring, drug detection, hazardous chemical detection, and detection of accelerants and flammable/explosive materials. The company reports a professional R&D team including ten PhDs, with core technical and management personnel — including its CEO — having overseas backgrounds and more than twenty years of industry experience in laser and opto-electronics fields. It says it has established industry-academia-research cooperation with universities such as Shenzhen University and Southern University of Science and Technology, and has obtained more than 65 patents and software copyrights. It operates a laser and spectroscopy application laboratory, a chemical and biosensor laboratory, an opto-electronic application research laboratory, a Shenzhen academician workstation, and a Guangdong provincial intelligent spectroscopy engineering center. Micro Optical Instruments is a private company. Its registered contact address is on the 10th floor of Building B, Tengbang Tower, Qingshuihe 5th Road, Luohu District, Shenzhen. The company's stated vision is to build a well-known spectroscopy instrument brand and an ecological-safety intelligent IoT platform, under the slogan "make the world safer."

History

Micro Optical Instruments Inc. (Shenzhen Wanglian Guangyi Technology Co., Ltd., 深圳网联光仪科技有限公司) was founded in November 2017 in Pingshan District, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China. According to the company's own development timeline, the company was established on 3 November 2017 in Pingshan District. It positioned itself from the outset around semiconductor laser and infrared spectroscopy applications in gas detection, describing its mission as providing new solutions to the detection industry based on core molecular spectrometer technology. In January 2018, the Shenzhen Special Zone Daily reported on progress in basic scientific research at the Wanglian Micro-Light Quantum Application Research Institute (网联微光量子应用研究院), an affiliated research body. In February 2019, the company participated in a Pingshan District science and technology innovation product exhibition, where its booth was inspected by district officials including Pingshan District Party Secretary Tao Yongxin. In 2020, the Guangdong Provincial Intelligent Spectroscopy Engineering Technology Research Center (广东省智能光谱工程技术研究中心), established by the company, was recognized by the Guangdong Provincial Department of Science and Technology. In 2021, the company was approved to establish a Shenzhen academician (expert) workstation (深圳市院士(专家)工作站). Over this period the company built out research infrastructure including a laser and spectroscopy application laboratory, a chemical and biosensor laboratory, an opto-electronic application research laboratory, the Shenzhen academician workstation, and the Guangdong provincial intelligent spectroscopy engineering center. It reports a professional R&D team including ten PhDs, with core technical and management personnel — including its CEO — having overseas backgrounds and more than twenty years of experience in laser and opto-electronics. It states it has established industry-academia-research cooperation with universities such as Shenzhen University and Southern University of Science and Technology, and has obtained more than 65 patents and software copyrights. The company's product focus centers on gas safety. Its core products include a household laser (TDLAS) methane alarm and an AI gas safety valve, marketed as intelligent security devices with high sensitivity, low false-alarm rates and strong anti-interference, suitable for home kitchens, catering venues and industrial environments. Related gas-monitoring products are designed to form a closed-loop gas safety protection system with smart-home devices, with early-warning information coordinated through a smart supervision platform. The company states that with the advancement of China's "urban lifeline" projects and rising household security demand, it will continue to expand into smart gas and smart city application scenarios. Beyond gas safety, the company presents industry solutions across scientific research, environmental safety, public safety, food and drug safety, and production safety. Its scientific research offering includes a mid-infrared optical coherence tomography instrument it describes as an original product with high spatial resolution, high sampling rate and large imaging range, suited to void, delamination and defect detection in chips and ceramics, as well as mid-infrared three-dimensional structural imaging. Its environmental safety offering is a "second-response" water quality monitoring and early-warning system based on a full-spectrum water quality analyzer that measures UV-visible full-wavelength absorption spectra and, combined with water quality model algorithms and calibration parameters, can rapidly measure parameters such as COD, DOC, TOC, nitrate nitrogen, color, turbidity, TSS and UV254, with optional extension to temperature, flow, conductivity, pH and dissolved oxygen. For public safety it discusses ion mobility spectrometry for trace explosive detection, noting limitations such as inability to detect gases, high consumable costs, slow detection and the use of radioactive materials. For food and drug safety it contrasts traditional chromatographic, optical and electrochemical methods with the need for simpler on-site testing. For production safety it cites the shortcomings of electrochemical sensor monitoring systems, such as short life and high maintenance cost. The company is a private enterprise. Its registered contact address is on the 10th floor of Building B, Tengbang Tower, Qingshuihe 5th Road, Luohu District, Shenzhen. Its corporate slogan is "make the world safer" (让世界更加安全), and its stated vision is to build a well-known spectroscopy instrument brand and an ecological-safety intelligent IoT platform.
