I have recently published a new paper in J. Mod. Opt. about something I discovered when reading Fresnel’s Oeuvres Complètes and that relates to the geometric phase! https://doi.org/10.1080/09500340.2021.1898687
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
I have recently published a new paper in J. Mod. Opt. about something I discovered when reading Fresnel’s Oeuvres Complètes and that relates to the geometric phase! https://doi.org/10.1080/09500340.2021.1898687
I am sharing here the slides of a presentation I did for the course Séminaires en sciences physiques, from Université de Moncton, in Quebec, Canada. Phase and polarization are the two main actors of this presentation. The ‘phase’ describes the cyclic change of electric and magnetic fields during one period of the wave, while the…
I got involved in the committe of this new webinar series that has been promoted by Thomas Germer. This series of webinars will bring together an international audience interested in exploring topics associated with optical polarization and related phenomena. Monthly webinars will be presented by leaders in the field, and ample time will be provided…
I have mixed feeling about journal reviewing. I generally like it, but it certainly takes a lot of time and it is not always the case that you feel that this time is truly profitable. So I think it is good that at least journals make some sort of recogniztion to reviewers. This year I…
In my research for more bibliographic information about Paul Soleillet I have found some additional information about the “drame familial” (family drama) mentioned by Jean Claude Pecker in his bibliography. This happened in December 1931 when P. Soleillet was 29 years old. Jean Claude-Pecker, told me he had the opportunity to meet Soleillet (“homme charmant…
During the last months I have been working with Razvigor Ossikovski in a method to complete an experimental Mueller matrix with a row or column missing into a full Mueller matrix in situations where is no depolarization. Thus this method converts a 12-element partial Mueller matrix into a 16-element Mueller matrix. We are talking about…
Here you can download my ICSE-8 tutorial on anisotropic materials. Presented in Barcelona May 26th 2019
Less than a couple of weeks to start a new edition of the International Conference on Spectroscopic Ellipsometry. This time in Barcelona (ICSE-8). Seems yesterday when in ICSE-7 (in Berlin 2016) it was announced that the next edition would be in Barcelona. Things are getting reading and the program is already available. If you are…
Last year I talked many times about the Fresnel triprism in this website. Recently our research work about this composite prism was published in Optics Express where we make an analogy with the famous Stern-Gerlach experiment. Almost at the same time, we have published a more divulgative report about the history of the Fresnel Triprism…
As I do not update this site very often, it is worth to make a very quick summary of recent reseach-related activities I have done: BIOAM Conference In October I attended the “2nd International Workshop on Biophotonics and Orbital Angular Momentum” (BIOAM-2018). My talk was titled “Separating photons by spin with the method of A.…
