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
Several months have passed without updates on the website, so it is time to at least post a summary of the latest activities. In November 2025, I visited China again. I stayed at Huaqiao University, visited former PhD students of the group at Jimei University, attended the ERA & MMI 2025 conference in Hangzhou, and…
We introduce a novel application of our patented Polvision technology, engineered specifically for advanced dermatological assessment. The new Polvision Dermatoscope integrates our state-of-the-art, real-time full-Stokes polarimetric camera with a custom ring LED illumination system that uses circularly polarized light. This unique configuration allows the system to non-invasively capture a complete polarization dataset from the skin,…
In September 2025, several new members joined the group: Miguel Ares has joined as technical staff under the POLVISION project. He is working on further developing applications and software for our patentend full-Stokes polarization camera. Shuang Chen is a new PhD student from Huaqiao University (Xiamen, China). During his Master’s studies, he carried out excellent…
In the last years, we have had some proof-of-concept or “product” projects to develop cutting-edge polarization imaging and measurement solutions. We are currently seeking partners interested in licensing our technologies. While our primary goal is to collaborate with companies for technology transfer, we very much welcome inquiries from end-users who may benefit directly from our…
I just came across this animation I created nearly 20 years ago (originally in Flash, now converted to video). It’s a bit off-topic, but interestingly, 2005 also marked the 100th anniversary of special relativity.
Our Full-Stokes Polarization Camera technology introduces a new approach to capturing the complete polarization state of light in real-time, including the often-overlooked circular polarization. To the best of our knowledge, this is the smallest and simplest fully operational Full-Stokes camera developed to date. Key Technical Features Complete Stokes Vector Measurement Measure all four Stokes parameters—total…
Check out these videos showcasing our snapshot generalized ellipsometer (which measures eight elements of the normalized Mueller matrix). Additional details and explanations can be found in the video description. Companies interested in this technology are welcome to contact me for more information, as I think this is very interesting for many applications demanding high speed.…
We have 2 positions available within the POLVISION project in our PLAT research group. This project, funded by AGAUR (the Catalan Agency for Research and Universities) through the Knowledge Industry program, aims to foster an economy driven by knowledge by promoting the transfer of research results from academic institutions to the market. Our project focuses…
It is time to update the various activities carried out in 2024. Hopefully, in 2025 this website will see more updates. Dr. Huihui Li (Jimei University) did a 6-month postdoctoral research stay in our lab working on polarimetric imaging for scattering turbid media. A paper about the work she carried out is already published: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.optlaseng.2024.108804…
Long time without updates. I try to summarize in brief bullet points some of the accumulated news, without following any particular order. Our recent paper about the “Spatial dispersion of Silicon” was selected a Editor Pick in Phys. Rev. B. A few months ago I got a “Consolidación” project. The project is titled SPECTROPEM – Ultrasensitive…
