Divisions

The main activities of the division are:

1. The exchange of research information, organisation and running of activities and events which promote the interests of the division; within this a major activity is the organisation of a biannual divisional conference.
2. Liaison and collaboration with other professional bodies with interests in similar technical areas. Increasingly this is international collaboration. The divisional committee has co-opted members representing IEE (Group 13) SPIE, the European Optical Society and the Optical Society of America.
3. Provision of advice to the Institute of Physics on policy in the fields covered by divisional interests.  The division often contributes to the Institute's dialogue with EPSRC and others, and to government lobbying.

The groups currently affiliated to the division are:

Combustion Physics Group
