Brief description of the Research Team / Research Group / Department
The Applied Optics Complutense Group (AOCG) focuses on the development of advanced optical solutions with applications in science, technology, industry, and healthcare. The group is composed of 34 researchers, including 24 PhD holders. The remaining members are project-based research associates and predoctoral researchers. Since its inception, AOCG has stood out for its multidisciplinary approach, innovative capacity, and strong commitment to knowledge transfer. Currently, the group is led by Professors Javier Alda and Luis Miguel Sánchez Brea, and comprises a team of researchers specialized in optics, photonics, metrology, bioengineering, and image processing.
The polarimetry team is lead by Jesús del Hoyo, and comprises Professors Luis Miguel Sanchez Brea and Jesús del Hoyo, along with actual and former PhD, lab technicians and other collaborators. We have two big labs available with plenty of equipment for optics and polarimetry, and access to UCM workshops and common labs. We also developed py_pol, an open source Python package for polarization calculation.

Research lines / projects proposed
We have several research lines in the polarization field of optics. First, we study polarization optical metrology to characterize polarizers and optical retarders with maximum precision and accuracy. This includes basic research in the fundamentals of polarization and optical components.
We also work in the field of polarimetry. We developed a division of amplitude Stokes polarimeter using metasurfaces, and we want to explore its capabilities for other applications. We also build a Mueller polarimeter with highest precision, and we are working on developing image and spectral polarimeters. We use them to characterize materials sensitive to polarization.
We also work in the field of LCoS Spatial Light Modulators and liquid crystals, characterizing and using their polarization properties.
