Apollo Optical SystemsApollo Optical Systems grew out of Rochester Photonics Corporation, a 1989 spin-off from the University of Rochester’s Institute of Optics, and was established as an independent company through a management buyout in 2002. Today, the Rochester-based company is known for developing precision polymer optics for customers in fields such as medical devices and defense, supporting projects from early prototypes through production.ROCHESTER, NY
VectorScribe LLCVectorScribe LLC is a Bethlehem, Pennsylvania photonics startup built around making advanced optical microfabrication more accessible. It uses proprietary, maskless laser direct writing to create custom optical microstructures for researchers and companies developing authentication features or testing new optical designs, with prototype turnaround typically about a week.BETHLEHEM, PA
Optics Technology, IncOptics Technology, Inc. was established in 1986 by optical engineer Jim Anderson, whose vision was to tackle unusually demanding miniature optical work with the flexibility to make new tools when needed. The Pittsford company designs and builds precision micro-optical systems for customers ranging from university research centers to NASA and global enterprises, often taking projects from prototype to small- or medium-volume production. Its work has included a miniature aerospace shutter and a government surveillance lens assembled entirely in-house.PITTSFORD, NY
