The authors hope the new National Academies of Science report, "Optics & Photonics: Essential Technologies for Our Nation” will have a major influence on research and manufacturing in the US, unlike its predecessor. How do you think the report will impact those critical areas of the US economy?
I think it will drive commercialization of photonic technologies
I think it will lead to new opportunities and breakthroughs in research
I think it depends on government buy-in
I think it depends on industry buy-in
