Introduction
SPIE (Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers) is a not-for-profit
professional society for optics and photonics technology, founded in 1955. It organizes
technical conferences, trade exhibitions, and continuing education programs for
researchers and developers in the light-based fields of physics, including optics,
photonics, and imaging engineering. Throughout the years, SPIE has created many
publications including journals, magazines, newspapers, websites, and books.
SPIE Student Chapter CSIO Chandigarh
Central Scientific Instruments Organisation (CSIO) is one of the constituent units
of the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR). It is a national research
laboratory for the design and development of scientific and industrial instruments.
It is a multi-disciplinary industrial research & development organisation in the
country to promote the growth of the instrumentational industry in India. It is having
well-equipped laboratories along with well-trained staff in the areas of Agrionics;
Medical Instrumentation and Prosthetic Devices; Computational Instrumentation;
Optics based Instrumentation; Advanced Materials and Fiber/Laser Optics based
Sensors; Analytical Instrumentation; etc.
SPIE Student Chapter CSIO Chandigarh came into existence in February 2016 for
the promotion of Science among researchers, academicians and students. At present,
