Abstract
This review begins by considering some of the problems currently limiting the development of production engines. We shall try to interpret these problems in terms of the fundamental physics and chemistry and assess how far available laser instrumentation can address the appropriate areas. The review is biased towards production engines since these not only pose particularly severe demands on instrumentation development, but may also show trends which are quite different from research engines. Much of the review will concentrate on spark ignition engines since the diesel engine is heavily influenced by spray behaviour which is treated in a later paper. In considering product performance, we shall restrict ourselves to investigations under steady state running. Although the study of transient operation is now just about within reach of current instrumentation, there is not as yet a substantial body of published experience.
