Apollo Optical Systems was born from innovation, tracing its roots to Rochester Photonics Corporation, a 1989 spin-off from the University of Rochester's Institute of Optics. Founded by leading researchers Dr. G. Michael Morris, Dr. Dean Faklis, and Dr. Milton Chang, our legacy began with bringing diffractive and micro-optics from research laboratories into commercial reality. After navigating industry changes and a management buyout in 2002, Apollo emerged stronger, continuing the tradition of optical excellence. Today, we operate from our state-of-the-art 21,000 sq. ft. Rochester facility, combining decades of accumulated expertise with cutting-edge manufacturing technologies. Our commitment to precision optics and proven partnerships drives us to deliver innovative solutions that accelerate our clients' time-to-market while ensuring uncompromising quality and performance.
