Technology Transfer Opportunities in Polarization Instrumentation

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…

Full-Stokes Polarization Camera

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…

Snapshot ellipsometry. Check our prototype in a video

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.…

Late 2024 Update

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…

Early 2024 update

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…

Spotlight on the Geometric Phase

View Spotlight analysis of the #OPG_JOSA_A paper Wave description of geometric phase https://t.co/Pyqqs8G7P6 Spotlight Summary by Oriol Arteaga #Polarization pic.twitter.com/xor2D2qnV3 — Optica Publishing Group (@OpticaPubsGroup) March 13, 2023 From the same authors, it is also very recommendable this article: https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.04359 which I think will be soon published in Optica.

New SGR Group about “Polarized light Applications & Technologies (PLAT)”

Research in Catalan Universities is organized through Research Groups recognized by the Agency for Management of University and Research Grants (AGAUR). In the last call, I led the application for a new emergent research group called “Polarized light Applications & Technologies (PLAT)”, which was granted.  I made a preliminary (under-construction) website of the group at:…
