The Department was organized as independent structure in 1995 on the base of scientific secretary personnel, and Scientific Secretary Dr. O.A.Tumanov became the chief of this Department. At now the chief of Scientific Organizing Department is Dr. E.B. Perminov. Actually there are working: assistant of direction V.M.Perkova, assistant of Scientific Secretary A.V.Letokhova, office chief G.T.Shevchenko, patent specialist V.N.Solyankina, workers of Xerox service - I.A.Yashin and R.Z.Naryshkina.
The main task of this Department is organizing ensuring of scientific researches of the Institute including:

Department supervises the work of the scientific library (A.N.Makarova - chief, Z.N.Nazarova and E.A.Nikolaeva - library stuff).
The library fund has 58600 published units including 12150 Russian and foreign books on optics, spectroscopy and some associated subjects, 4500 periodical publications (36 Russian and 120 foreign journal titles) and also the fund of small circulation publications (theses, reprints, papers and so on). In the library funds there are also the collections of books of Russian Academicians A.S.Borovik-Romanov, G.S.Landsberg, L.I.Mandelshtam, S.L.Mandelshtam, E.V.Shpol'skii presented by their families.
Actually the Institute library receives journals of 24 Russian and 33 foreign titles. The library has connection with Internet and has 5 data bases: “Current Contents (PCES)”, “Publications of the Institute Spectroscopy workers”, “Books on Optics and Spectroscopy”, “Fullerenes”, “Surface Science”.
Once for two years the bibliography “Books on Optics and Spectroscopy” prepared by A.N.Makarova is published in Russian journal “Optics and Spectroscopy” under the redaction of V.B.Belyanin..
The work of the library is supervised also by Library Council consisted of Yu.E.Lozovik(head),V.G.Koloshnikov,E.A.Ryabov, A.N.Ryabtsev,O.A.Tumanov and A.N.Makarova. This council regularly discusses the Institute subscription policy and library needs. Every year the Scientific Council hears the library report.
The Institute Xerox service has modern copy equipment and ensures the copying materials for library, scientists and different institute services with the volume of copying about 7-10 thousand pages monthly.
Department supervises also the development and modernization of the Institute computer net (main responsible is D.V.Serebryakov). Computer net is constructed on the base of Ethernet UTP. Trere are the lines of 10 Mb for personal computers , server and two commutators are working with the speed of 100 Mb.Actually 150 PC are connected to this line.
As the result more than 100 scientists have a possibility of direct connection via Internet with different sources of scientific information.
Department spends many efforts for artistic preparing of materials for different exhibitions, seminars and conferences. Some of the last took place in the Institute conference-hall.
The conference-hall (for 145 persons)has very good acoustics and is equipped by modern projection technics. Different kinds of meetings take place there - general meetings of institute's workers, meetings of Scientific Council, annual publication competition conferences, all institute seminars (head of seminars is Dr. V.G.Koloshnikov), department and laboratory seminars. Big foyer allows to expose there exhibition materials, posters during conferences and to organize “coffee and tea breaks”.
Institute conducts the formation of scientific and scientific-pedagogical stuff in two directions: post graduate education (form principal) and the competition of doctor's degree without post graduate study. This activity is organized by V.M.Perkova.
During 5 last years (1998-2003) 16 post graduate students and 7 competitors passed their post graduate education in the fields: “Optics”, “Theoretical Physics” and “Solid State Physics”. Post graduate student guidance was realized by professors (4) and doctors of sciences(4) - essentially by the chiefs of departments and laboratories.
