This team is committed to the development and innovation of uncooled, photonic lead salt infrared Focal Plane Array (FPA) detectors. On the basis of constantly improving the existing lead salt FPA detectors manufacturing technology. On one hand, breaking through the technical bottlenecks encountered in its industrial production, on the other hand, establishing the cooperation with enterprises and research institutes and  promoting the transformation of scientific and technological achievements. Developing a low-cost, large-scale, uncooled lead salt FPA imaging system with independent intellectual property rights. At the same time, strengthen the integration of infrared detection technology and intelligent perception technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, robot vision, and biometrics, develop transformative infrared optoelectronic products to seize the commanding heights of infrared technology development.

During working in United States, as a core technical backbone, Professor Qiu has participated in a number of mid-infrared detector research and development projects funded by the United States Department of Defense - Advanced Research Projects Agency, Air Force Laboratory, Army Laboratory and Oklahoma Advanced Science and Technology Center, with a cumulative scientific research funding of more than 2.5 million US dollars. Chu Junhao, a famous expert in infrared physics and devices in China, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and researcher of Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics, affirmed the above work. Academician Chu believes that high-performance room temperature mid-infrared photoappliances are "an important direction for the development of infrared detectors, which has important scientific significance and application prospects." By the combination of equipment transformation and technological innovation, Dr. Qiu basically solved many technical problems encountered in the process of industrialized production of large-area and high-performance lead salt infrared photosensitive materials, and took an important step to promote the large-scale commercial operation of room temperature lead salt detectors. At present, his research results on lead selenide infrared detectors working at mid-infrared room temperature have been in the forefront of the world."
