About the Caucus

The bipartisan, bicameral Congressional Optics & Photonics (O&P) Caucus is a Congressional organization that is co-chaired by Reps. Joe Morelle (D-NY) and Brian Mast (R-FL) and Senators Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Steve Daines (R-MT). The O&P Caucus works to educate members of Congress and their staff about the importance of light-based research and technologies to the economy, security and scientific excellence of the US. It will also advocate for federal investment in this innovative and exciting space. The O&P Caucus serves as a positive, proactive voice for the optics and photonics community within Congress and as a bridge to the administration.

We encourage you to ask your representative and senators to become members of the Caucus.

As a leading sponsor of the National Photonics Initiative, Optica has worked closely with Congress to establish and build this Caucus. It is now an important voice for the optics and photonics community, we welcome your support and engagement.

If you have any questions, please contact David Lang, Optica’s Senior Director of Global Policy & Affairs at publicaffairs@optica.org.
