Awards

OptiComp has the distinction of being the only U.S. company to receive the Tibbetts Award three times. The award, sponsored by the Small Business Administration, recognizes industry leaders for their role in developing technology and bringing it into the commercial marketplace. The Tibbetts Award recognizes achievements of small businesses which participate in the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program. In addition, OptiComp has been awarded the R&D 100 Award by R&D Magazine.

Over the last several years, OptiComp has received recognition for its accomplishments in several national publications. OptiComp's optoelectronic programs have been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Fortune Magazine, and Business Week. Articles have also appeared in R&D Magazine, Military and Aerospace, Photonics Spectra, and Laser Focus World.
