中国科学院上海技术物理研究所（简称上海技物所）创建于1958年10月，是集基础研究、工程技术研发和高新技术产业化为一体的综合型研究机构。上海技物所以红外物理与光电技术研究为定位，以红外光电新材料、新器件、新方法等作为主要研究方向，重点发展先进的航空航天有效载荷、红外凝视成像及信号处理、红外焦平面及遥感信息处理等技术。

上海技物所着眼于国家重大战略需求，针对相关技术领域的特点，已形成具有自身特色的、覆盖“基础前沿—核心组部件—系统集成”完整研发体系。设有研究室13个，建有红外物理国家重点实验室、传感技术联合国家重点实验室（光传感器专业点）、中科院红外成像材料与器件重点实验室、中科院红外探测与成像技术重点实验室、中科院空间主动光电技术重点实验室、中科院智能红外感知重点实验室以及省部共建现场物证光学探测技术联合实验室。

Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics (SIST), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), founded in October 1958, is a comprehensive research institution integrating basic research, engineering technology research and development and high-tech industrialization. With the research of infrared physics and photoelectric technology as its orientation and new infrared photoelectric materials, new devices and new methods as its main research direction, Shanghai Institute of Technology focuses on the development of advanced aerospace payloads, infrared gaze imaging and signal processing, infrared focal plane and remote sensing information processing and other technologies.

Focusing on the major strategic needs of the country and aiming at the characteristics of relevant technical fields, Shanghai Institute of Technology and Technology has formed a complete research and development system with its own characteristics covering "basic frontier -- core group components -- system integration". There are 13 research rooms, The institute has established the State Key Laboratory of Infrared Physics, the State Key Laboratory of Joint Sensor Technology (Light Sensor Specialty), the Key Laboratory of Infrared Imaging Materials and Devices of Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Key Laboratory of Infrared Detection and Imaging Technology of Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Key Laboratory of Space Active Optoelectronic Technology of Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Key Laboratory of Intelligent Infrared Sensing of Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the field optical detection technology of physical evidence jointly built by the province and Ministry Joint Laboratory.
