Apollo Optical Systems was born from innovation, tracing its roots to Rochester Photonics Corporation, a 1989 spin-off from the University of Rochester's prestigious Institute of Optics. Founded by leading optical scientists Dr. G. Michael Morris, Dr. Dean Faklis, and Dr. Milton Chang, our company emerged from a management buyout in 2002 with a mission to commercialize advanced optical technologies. Today, we operate from a state-of-the-art 21,000 square foot facility in Rochester, NY, equipped with cutting-edge manufacturing capabilities. Our team combines academic excellence with practical manufacturing expertise, delivering precision coating solutions that accelerate time-to-market while ensuring uncompromising quality. We've built lasting partnerships across medical, aerospace, defense, and commercial industries, establishing ourselves as a trusted leader in specialty optical coatings.
