Allen Krisiloff founded Triptar in 1993 in order to build a company devoted to the design and development of optical systems incorporating fine mechanics, electronics, and software control. It is still a small company, but it has managed and delivered several large and sophisticated development projects. Mr. Krisiloff’s Optical Engineering experience began at the University of Rochester's Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) while an undergraduate in Physics during the late 1970's. He designed, built and tested picosecond laser oscillators and test instrumentation. After the LLE, he designed optics and opto-mechanics for machine vision modules in one of Eastman Kodak's manufacturing units.
