Apollo Optical Systems was born from innovation, originating as a spin-off from the University of Rochester's prestigious Institute of Optics in 1989. Founded by Dr. G. Michael Morris, Dr. Dean Faklis, and Dr. Milton Chang, our company emerged from cutting-edge research to commercialize diffractive and micro-optics technologies. After navigating industry changes and a management buyout in 2002, Apollo has established itself as a world leader in precision polymer optics. Today, we operate from our state-of-the-art 21,000 sq. ft. facility in Rochester, NY, continuing our legacy of bringing advanced optical technologies from research laboratories to real-world applications across medical, defense, automotive, and industrial sectors.
