For forty years, Summers Optical has manufactured and distributed optical cements and adhesives for military, commercial, and aerospace usage. Formerly known as Summers Laboratories, we have been the innovators of unique adhesive systems for the bonding of glass to metal, glass to glass, metal to plastic, and plastic to metal as well as 2-Component and 1-component (UV curing) cements for the bonding of like and unlike substrates.
All of our cements and adhesives have been formulated and are manufactured keeping in mind many of the typical bonding problems that are prevalent in the optical industry. Our line of cements offer solutions to broad band transmission, high mechanical shock and chemical resistance, differences in thermal expansion, laser, fiber optic, and filter applications, as well as bonding a wide variety of substrate materials.
We have always been committed to our customers and this commitment is matched only by our pride in quality and workmanship. You are invited to browse through our home page to learn more about our cements and our cementing accessories and what we have to offer the optical industry.

The founders and team members of TTI have a wealth of experience in the Photonics and Fiber Optics test and measurement industry dating back to the early 1970s when fiber was still in its infancy. After many years of ingenuity and dedication, we founded TTI in 1989 with the purpose of continuing to delight our customers, assist them in finding the best solutions, and keeping abreast of the technologies they deploy. Our roots may be in the Mohawk Valley Fiber Optic Industry of central New York, but our reach is global, and we pride ourselves in being a world class producer of the high tech solutions our customers require.
Our technology and product development experiences include design and marketing the world's first commercial processor driven Optical Time Domain Reflectometer. Other historic developments include Radiometric Energy and Power Meters, Optical Choppers, Space Probe Mission Sensors, and the industry standard Electrically Calibrated Pyroelectric Radiometer.
Over the decades we continued developing and refining our technologies with recent introductions in our full line of fiber optic test equipment including state of the art Optical Time Domain Reflectometers, hand held Optical Spectrum Analyzers, CWDM Channel Analyzers, Tunable Laser Sources and advanced autotest/autowave Loss Test Sets.
We also have a full line of optical to electrical converters, fiber optic links and a fiber optic video link system. We offer an optical chopper, laser power and energy meter, a fiber optic laser tachometer, photodiode transimpedance amplifier, and various other custom opto-electronic products that are utilized in the automotive, fiber optics, communications, photonics, power generation and medical equipment industries and for research laboratories, government entities and educational organizations worldwide.
Through our experiences the principle engineers at TTI are proud to have amassed over 100 years of combined experience in photonics and fiber optic instrumentation. We also are extremely proud to be one of the few USA developers and manufacturers of OTDRs and high tech photonics equipment, and look forward to maintaining this commitment.
In closing, we'd like to assure you that we are totally committed to our mission of providing leading world class quality solutions for our colleagues and friends. We maintain a passion for investments in our equipment designs, and development of exceptional customer relations through cooperation and training. We share this commitment in developing a superior TTI team through education, training and personal development.
