What Daheng Optoelectronics does

Daheng Optoelectronics (大恒光电) is the optoelectronics division of Daheng New Era Technology Co., Ltd. (Shanghai Stock Exchange: 600288), tracing its origins to the 1987 establishment of China Daheng Group by five Chinese Academy of Sciences optical institutes. Founded in 1988, the company designs and manufactures precision optical components, ultrafast laser systems (picosecond and femtosecond fiber lasers), terahertz time-domain spectroscopy instruments, industrial laser processing equipment, and a catalog of more than 70 optoelectronic teaching experiment systems. Core technology capabilities span optical-element fabrication and coating, ultrafast laser and THz system integration, and the Zhongguancun Open Laboratory for collaborative research, supported by multiple granted invention patents and ISO9001 certification since 2003.

The company serves three primary customer segments: universities and research institutions (500+ Chinese universities and numerous CAS institutes, with named relationships at Tsinghua, Peking, Zhejiang, Nanjing, Dalian University of Technology, and CAS Institute of Physics); industrial manufacturing and technology enterprises (qualified supplier to Lenovo, Haier, Midea, and Huawei); and specialized application domains (petroleum exploration, food safety, pharmaceutical QC, cultural heritage, and aerospace inspection). It also operates overseas through an agent network established in 1997, with international show presence at Photonics West, LASER World of PHOTONICS, and CLEO.

Daheng generates revenue through one-time hardware sales across its product lines (standard optical components, laser systems, THz instruments, laser processing equipment, and teaching experiment platforms) plus OEM customization services and an e-commerce storefront (cdhbuy.com). GTM motion is hybrid: direct enterprise field sales from Beijing headquarters plus regional offices in Shanghai, Xi'an, and Shenzhen, complemented by event-driven demand generation at major optoelectronics conferences and university-level design competitions. The company is recognized as a Beijing Municipal Science and Technology R&D Institution and has received national and provincial science and technology awards for high-power picosecond laser technology and terahertz spectroscopy instrumentation.
