Our Work
We develop cutting-edge advanced optical technologies across a range of biomedical and environmental applications.
Intraoperative Neurosurgical Guidance
We develop wide-field imaging Mueller polarimetric systems combined with a data post-processing pipeline that enable surgeons to see in real time both the tumor zone and the nerve fiber tracts to preserve.
Early Detection of Uterine Cervix Pathologies
We investigate polarimetric signatures of uterine cervix tissue that can support objective assessment of cervical microstructure, with a long-term goal of improving screening, biopsy accuracy and surgery guidance.
Interaction of Polarized Light with Scattering Optically Anisotropic Media
We use in-house polarization-sensitive Monte Carlo models to simulate the propagation of polarized light through anisotropic scattering media such as biological tissues, to interpret Mueller matrix measurements, evaluate penetration depth and guide the design of polarimetric systems.
Metrology for Microelectronics
Mueller polarimetry at LPICM grew out of optical metrology for microelectronics: spectroscopic and back-focal-plane Mueller polarimeters combined with in-house inverse-problem algorithms for critical-dimension and overlay measurements.
Other Explorations
Plant Polarimetry
We develop polarimetric imaging approaches for non-destructive assessment of leaf structure and stress responses, aiming to reveal early physiological changes before they become visible.
Skin Polarimetry
We explore wide-field polarimetric imaging for dermatological assessment, using polarization contrast to probe superficial and subsurface tissue organization without contact.
