Welcome to the website of Oriol Arteaga. Here you will mostly hear about my research activities which mainly focus in polarimetry, ellipsometry or, more in general, in light-matter interactions. You can contact me at oarteaga(AT)ub.edu and at www.ub.edu/plat
For some reason I cannot fully understand, certain types of serial decompositions of Mueller matrices became quite popular among experimentalists. I am talking about the polar decomposition and the Lu-Chipman decompositions. These matrix decompositions allow to decompose a matrix in a series of a retarder, a diattenuator and, eventually, also a depolarizer. Of course matrix…
I took these two pictures last week in the lab. Too amazing for not sharing. (click on the image to enlarge) These are three Cetonia Aurata beetles showing different cuticle colors. Can you anticipate how their Mueller matrix looks like?
During 2014-2015 I will be working on a European Marie Curie IIF project, titled Polarimetric characterization of natural and artificial chiral anisotropic media (Nanochirality) at University of Barcelona.
