Labsphere Acquires Photon Gear to Unify Optical Systems Supply Chain
North Sutton, N.H. – October 01, 2026 -- Labsphere, Inc. has acquired Photon Gear, Inc., an Ontario, New York-based designer of ultra-high-precision custom optical systems and lens assemblies, combining light generation and measurement with precision lens engineering under one supplier.
Labsphere consolidates lens design and light measurement into a single vendor offering
The deal merges Labsphere's platform for light generation, control, and measurement with Photon Gear's custom lens design, assembly, and interferometric test capabilities. Customers in medical devices, analytical instrumentation, semiconductor, and aerospace and defense can now source a designed-to-specification lens assembly alongside the light sources, integrating spheres, and calibration needed to qualify it from one company, cutting design cycles and reducing the vendor count on a program.
