Polarization Imaging and SLM characterization
The development of novel techniques and algorithms for the recording, processing and identification of 3D imaging based on polarization is also a research area in the group with contributions along the past years. Thus, we are interested in the design and implementation of polarimetric optical correlators, use of polarization states for coding/decoding the object information, optical and digital 3D image processing for detection and identification of objects, and the use and characterization of liquid crystal displays (mainly Spatial Light Modulators) in optical layouts. In particular, the use of SLMs in optical setups provides an extremely versatile tool for implementing a wide range of optical processing methods such as phase contrast and DIC in microscopy, phase shifting interferometry, computer generated holograms, applications based on optical encryption, adaptative optics for aberration correction, etc.
