Avo PhotonicsFounded in 2003 by physicist Joseph L. Dallas, Avo Photonics designs, develops, and manufactures optoelectronic products for customers who retain ownership of their intellectual property. The Philadelphia-area contract manufacturer works from concept through scalable U.S. production, with a 40,000-square-foot cleanroom facility and a strict confidentiality model that keeps Avo from competing with its clients. Avo is ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 certified and ITAR registered.HORSHAM, PA
Cosmo OpticsFounded in 1957 by German optician Hans Peters, Albany-based Cosmo Optics fabricates custom precision optical components and assemblies, from prototype work through production. In its 22,000-square-foot facility, the privately held company makes optics ranging from 1.5 mm parts to elements exceeding 40 inches, with in-house coating and inspection capabilities. Master Opticians and technicians bring decades of experience to work that the company describes as artisan optical fabrication.ALBANY, NY
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
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
