Precision optics experts dedicated to your success.
Apollo Optical Systems was born from the renowned University of Rochester Institute of Optics legacy, carrying forward decades of innovation in precision optical technologies. Founded in 2002 through a management buyout, we operate from our 21,000 sq. ft. Rochester, NY facility, equipped with the most advanced optical manufacturing capabilities. Our team combines deep academic research backgrounds with practical manufacturing expertise, enabling us to tackle the most challenging precision alignment projects. We've built our reputation by delivering optical solutions that accelerate time-to-market while ensuring performance with uncompromising precision and consistency for customers across medical, defense, aerospace, and industrial markets.
We achieve sub-micron alignment accuracy with surface finishes as low as 13 Å RMS in metals and 30-50 Å RMS in polymers, with optical performance typically better than quarter-wave peak-to-valley surface figure.
