Nu-Tek Precision Optical CorporationNu-Tek Precision Optical Corporation grew from a 1987 venture founded by nine master opticians, supervisors, and technicians, many of whom remain part of its core team today. This privately held Maryland small business develops custom precision optics for aerospace and scientific customers, with NASA-qualified flight hardware among its documented work. Its 15,000-square-foot Aberdeen operation supports projects ranging from prototypes to light production.ABERDEEN, MD
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
Photon Gear, IncFor two decades, Photon Gear has built high-precision custom optical systems, taking difficult designs from optical engineering through prototype and production lens assembly. Its small, flexible team pairs complex lens design with a specialized clean facility and multi-wavelength testing spanning deep UV to mid-IR. Led by optical experts Gary Blough and John Bowen, the Ontario, New York company is also registered for ITAR-controlled work.ONTARIO, NY
Optimax Systems, IncOptimax Systems, Inc. manufactures custom high-precision optical components, optical coatings, and optical systems. Its capabilities include conventional and CNC fabrication, freeform polishing, metrology, laser-grade optics, and engineered coating solutions for aerospace, defense, semiconductor, space, medical, and high-power laser applications.ONTARIO, NY
