Optics Valley

Optics Valley

Optics Valley is a nickname for a region in southern Arizona, centered on Tucson, that includes a concentration of optics companies, spawned by the optics work at the University of Arizona College of Optical Sciences.[1] Based on the idea of a technology cluster, such as Silicon Valley, Optics Valley in the US is famous not only for the companies but also for observatories Kitt Peak National Observatory, Mount Graham International Observatory, and the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory on Mount Hopkins.[2][3]

There are other areas called Optics Valley in France[4] and China.[5]
