The Optics & Photonics (O&P) Caucus is co-chaired by Representatives Morelle (D-NY) and Mast (R-FL), and Senators Kelly (D-AZ) and Daines (R-MT). The purpose of the caucus is to educate members of Congress and their staff regarding the importance of light-based research and technologies to the United States, as well as highlight the needs of this community.
SPIE has been a supporter of the Caucus since its creation and continues to work closely with it on legislation and issues affecting the optics and photonics community.
