Since 1999, Brooklyn-based Opticology has designed, engineered, and fabricated complex optical systems, with an unusual specialty in miniature assemblies built around components smaller than 3 millimeters. Its in-house optical laboratory and fabrication facility support custom prototypes, precision alignment, and one-off systems from concept through production. The company is also known for custom colored-glass filters and microdisk optical resonators made for research and advanced instrumentation.

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
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
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
