2026-05-07

A National Optical Communication Brand Born from the Landscapes of Guilin

In 2001, in the scenic city of Guilin, Guangxi, GLSUN (Guilin Guanglong Science and Technology Group Co., Ltd.) was officially established. From a technology company focused on semiconductor laser chips and optical passive devices, GLSUN has grown over 25 years into a national high-tech enterprise and a key Torch Program enterprise. It integrates optical chip R&D, optical passive device manufacturing, optical modules, and system integration.

 

 

More Than 25 Years of Optical Expertise

Today, GLSUN possesses a complete semiconductor process platform—from chip simulation design and MOCVD epitaxial growth to packaging and testing. Its products are widely used in data center interconnects, 5G/optical communications, fiber sensing, LiDAR, and other fields, serving global optical network construction. “Self-developed and self-manufactured, independently controllable” remains the core brand DNA of GLSUN.

 

Core Product Positioning: GLSUN focuses on high-performance, cost-effective, and highly reliable optical communication core devices and system solutions, with unique competitive advantages especially in Optical Isolators and Optical Switches.

 

China’s Leading Optical Isolator Brand — The “One-Way Street” Protecting Optical Signals

GLSUN Optical Isolators utilize high-performance Faraday rotator design, delivering high isolation, low insertion loss, wide wavelength range, and high power handling. The portfolio includes free space isolators, inline isolators, polarization-maintaining isolators, and high-power series, widely used in laser protection, fiber amplifiers, test & measurement, and more.

 

As a leading enterprise in China’s optical isolator field, GLSUN has achieved large-scale stable supply through vertically integrated chip and device manufacturing capabilities. Its market share and technical influence have long ranked No.1 in China. Whether in telecom backbone networks or emerging laser applications, GLSUN isolators are the preferred choice of countless optical system engineers for their “zero feedback” high reliability.
