Apollo Optical Systems was born from innovation at the University of Rochester's Institute of Optics in 1989. Founded by leading optical scientists Dr. G. Michael Morris, Dr. Dean Faklis, and Dr. Milton Chang, our company has evolved through strategic growth and technological advancement. After navigating industry changes including acquisition by Corning Incorporated, we emerged stronger through a management buyout in 2002, establishing our current identity as Apollo Optical Systems. Today, we operate from our state-of-the-art 21,000 sq. ft. facility in Rochester, NY, combining decades of research expertise with advanced manufacturing capabilities. Our team continues the founding vision of bringing cutting-edge optical technologies from research labs into commercial reality, serving global partners across medical, defense, aerospace, and industrial markets with precision polymer optics that enable breakthrough product designs.
