Experts in precision optics and advanced manufacturing.
Apollo Optical Systems was born from innovation at the University of Rochester's Institute of Optics, founded through a management buyout in December 2002 after the closure of Corning Rochester Photonics Corporation. Our heritage traces back to 1989 when Dr. G. Michael Morris, Dr. Dean Faklis, and Dr. Milton Chang co-founded Rochester Photonics Corporation to bring emerging diffractive and micro-optics technologies from research labs into commercial use. Today, we operate from a state-of-the-art 21,000 sq. ft. facility in Rochester, NY, continuing our mission to deliver precision optical solutions that accelerate time-to-market and enable breakthrough product designs across medical, aerospace, defense, and industrial applications.
