A group of bipartisan lawmakers formed the Optics and Photonics Caucus back in 2020. At that time, the U.S., along with the rest of the world, was grappling with the pandemic and the disruptions to the supply chain it created. The legislators on that committee hoped to use this new platform to address America’s reliance on Eastern nations and boost the domestic production of photonic goods. Democratic Rep. Joe Morelle of New York is the co-chair of the Optics and Photonics Caucus. In this Spotlight conversation, Morelle offers his insight on the policies impacting our industry and shares the concerns of New York’s leading photonics companies. Spotlight from "All Things Photonics"® is a special series of intimate sit-down conversations with preeminent figures in our industry. Sponsored by: Hamamatsu – www.Hamamatsu.com
Editor’s Note: The team at "All Things Photonics" reached out to Morelle’s Republican counterpart, Rep. Brian Mast of Florida, to take part in the conversation. Mast and his team did not follow up with us for this podcast.
