The TecnOPTO laboratory was pioneer in the use of liquid-crystal (LC) SLMs, and they have a large experience in their application in areas like optical processing, diffractive optics, and polarimetry. They also design and characterize LC patterned retarders to generate and detect vector beams. The group maintains a stable collaboration with UAB, and with other international groups experts in liquid-crystal technology. In 2019 they organized in Elche a workshop on ‘Structured Light, Polarimetry and Applications’.
