Doric Lenses states that "Doric Lenses was founded in January of 1995 with the mission to market patented gradient-index cylindrical lenses for collimation of laser diodes." It adds: "What has started as a small marketing outlet, became a fully functional optical production facility producing a wide variety of optical components to the tightest tolerance. The need for assembly of photonics devices during the telecom boom helped the company to redefine its optical component business to include photonics contract manufacturing services... Back in 2007, the company started to make simple photonics devices for optogenetics under the 'Doric' brand... By responding to those needs promptly with quality instruments, the company became the leader in the field of neurophotonics hardware. Doric Lenses produces specialty light sources, fiber photometry systems, miniature fluorescence microscopes and much more."
