Robust Mueller polarimetry of spatial light modulators
On demand | Presented live 27 June 2023
Abstract
Spatial light modulator is an essential electro-optical device in applications that require to modulate the amplitude, phase, or polarization of light. Its proper use requires to determine its Mueller matrix. In this work, we compare different methods to calculate the condition number of Mueller-Stokes polarimetry techniques, which defines their maximum relative error. Combining experimental and calculated values, we determined the most suitable method for calculating the condition number.

Jesús del Hoyo received the M.Sc. degree in fundamental physics and the Ph.D. degree in physics from Universidad Complutense in Madrid (UCM), Spain, in 2011 and 2016 respectively. His Ph.D. work, developed at the Institute of Optics (CSIC), was focused on waveguide direct laser writing in dielectric materials. He worked as Postdoctoral Fellow at FemtoSt (CNRS-UBFC), Besanon, France, focused on the laser material processing using Gauss-Bessel ultrashort laser pulses. Currently, he is an Assistant Professor at the Optics Department (UCM). His current research interests include material characterization using polarization properties, polarimetry, development of sensors and numerical simulation of light propagation.
