Optical Engineering

The aim of the doctoral programme is to provide training leading to a doctoral degree for Spanish and international students who have completed a university qualification in the field of optics and optometry. The students could prepare a doctoral thesis in an area of optics and optometry and will benefit from the experience of the various research groups that work in these fields.

The growing importance of optics and optometry make doctoral training in this field increasingly necessary and attractive, to develop a high-level of specialisation in associated areas. To develop this high-quality, multidisciplinary doctoral programme, the knowledge of various departments and research groups was required, so that more aspects of optical engineering and optometry could be addressed.

General information

Access profile

Given the multidisciplinary nature of the scientific field of the programme, there are a wide range of degrees that qualify applicants for admission. The most suitable prior learning to enter the doctoral programme in Optical Engineering will correspond to graduates with science and technology backgrounds who have taken the master's degree in Photonics, the master's degree in Optometry and Vision Sciences or a master’s degree related to the scientific area of the programme. In addition to this academic background, certain personal characteristics are considered important, such as interest in the research projects that are developed in the programme, critical and analytical capacity, taking initiative, perseverance and persistence in work, and the capacity to work in a team and communicate well in spoken and written form.

The main master’s degrees that provide direct access and do not require bridging courses are:

• master's degree in Photonics
• Erasmus Mundus doctoral degree in Photonics Engineering, Nanophotonics and Biophotonics
• master's degree in Optometry and Vision Sciences
• master's degree in Bioengineering
• master's degree in Biomedical Engineering
• European Master of Science in Research on Information and Communication Technologies

If students have a master’s degree in a science or technology area other than the above, the academic committee of the doctoral programme will check the subjects that have been taken in their previous studies and assess their relation with the area of optics to establish whether the student needs to take bridging courses.

Output profile

Doctoral candidates who complete a doctoral degree will have acquired the following competencies, which are needed to carry out quality research (Royal Decree 99/2011, of 28 January, which regulates official doctoral studies):

a) A systematic understanding of the field of study and a mastery of the research skills and methods related to the field.
b) An ability to conceive, design or create, put into practice and adopt a substantial process of research or creation.
c) An ability to contribute to pushing back the frontiers of knowledge through original research.
d) A capacity for critical analysis and an ability to assess and summarise new and complex ideas.
e) An ability to communicate with the academic and scientific community and with society in general as regards their fields of knowledge in the manner and languages that are typical of the international scientific community to which they belong.
f) An ability to foster scientific, technological, social, artistic and cultural progress in academic and professional contexts within a knowledge-based society.

The award of a doctoral degree must equip the graduate for work in a variety of settings, especially those requiring creativity and innovation. Doctoral graduates must have at least acquired the personal skills needed to:

a) Develop in contexts in which there is little specific information.
b) Find the key questions that must be answered to solve a complex problem.
c) Design, create, develop and undertake original, innovative projects in their field.
d) Work as part of a team and independently in an international or multidisciplinary context.
e) Integrate knowledge, deal with complexity and make judgements with limited information.
f) Offer criticism on and intellectually defend solutions.

On completion, doctoral students should show that they have the following competences:
a) Have gained advanced knowledge in the frontier of knowledge and have demonstrated, in the context of internationally recognised science, in-depth understanding based on theoretical and practical aspects and on scientific methodology in one or more research areas.
b) Have made an original, significant contribution to scientific research in their field of knowledge and this contribution has been recognised as such by the international scientific community.
c) Have demonstrated that they can design a research project to carry out a critical analysis and assessment of ambiguous situations in which to apply their contributions, knowledge and work methodology to synthesise new, complex ideas that generate deeper knowledge of the research context in which they work.
d) Have developed sufficient independence to start, manage and lead teams and innovative research projects and national and international scientific collaborations within their subject area in multidisciplinary contexts and, when applicable, with a high component of knowledge transfer.
e) Have demonstrated that they can carry out their research activity with social responsibility and scientific integrity.
f) Have demonstrated within the specific scientific context that they can make advances in cultural, social or technological aspects, and promote innovation in all areas in a knowledge-based society.

Duration of studies and dedication regime

Duration
The maximum period of study for full-time doctoral studies is three years, counted from the date of admission to the programme to the date of submission of the doctoral thesis. The academic committee of the doctoral programme may authorise a doctoral candidate to pursue doctoral studies on a part-time basis. In this case, the maximum period of study is five years, counting from the date of admission to the programme to the date of submission of the doctoral thesis. For calculating these periods, the date of admission is considered to be the date of the first enrolment for tutorials, and the date of submission the moment in which the Doctoral School officially deposits the doctoral thesis.

For full-time doctoral candidates, the minimum period of study is two years, counted from the date of an applicant's admission to the programme until the date on which the doctoral thesis is deposited; for part-time doctoral candidates it is four years. When there are justified grounds for doing so, and the thesis supervisor and academic tutor have given their authorisation, doctoral candidates may request that the academic committee of their doctoral programme exempt them from the minimum period of study requirement.

The calculation of periods of study will not include periods of absence due to illness, pregnancy or any other reason provided for in the regulations in force. Students who find themselves in any of these circumstances must notify the academic committee of the doctoral programme, which, where appropriate, must inform the Doctoral School. Doctoral candidates may also temporarily withdraw from the programme for up to one year, and this period may be extended for an additional year. Doctoral candidates who wish to interrupt their studies must submit a justified request to the academic committee of the doctoral programme, which will decide whether or not to approve the request. Each programme will establish conditions for readmission to doctoral studies.

Extension
If full-time doctoral candidates have not applied to deposit their thesis by the end of the three-year period of study, the academic committee of the programme may authorise an extension of up to one year. In exceptional circumstances, a further one-year extension may be granted, subject to the conditions established by the corresponding doctoral programme. In the case of part-time doctoral candidates, an extension of two years may be authorised. In both cases, in exceptional circumstances a further one-year extension may be granted by the Doctoral School's Standing Committee, upon the submission of a reasoned application by the academic committee of the doctoral programme.

Dismissal from the doctoral programme
A doctoral candidate may be dismissed from a doctoral programme for the following reasons:

The doctoral candidate submitting a justified application to withdraw from the programme.
The maximum period of study and of extensions thereof ending.
The doctoral candidate not having enrolled every academic year (unless he or she has been authorised to temporarily withdraw).
The doctoral candidate failing two consecutive assessments.
The doctoral candidate having disciplinary proceedings filed against him or her that rule that he or she must be dismissed from the UPC.

Dismissal from the programme implies that doctoral candidates cannot continue studying at the UPC and the closing of their academic record. This notwithstanding, they may apply to the academic committee of the programme for readmission and the committee must reevaluate them in accordance with the criteria established in the regulations.

Access, admission and registration

Access profile

Access requirements

Applicants must hold a Spanish bachelor’s degree or equivalent and a Spanish master’s degree or equivalent, provided they have completed a minimum of 300 ECTS credits on the two degrees (Royal Decree 43/2015, of 2 February)

In addition, the following may apply:

Holders of an official degree awarded by a university in Spain or any other country in the European Higher Education Area, pursuant to the provisions of Article 16 of Royal Decree 1393/2007, of 29 October, which establishes official university course regulations, who have completed a minimum of 300 ECTS credits on official university degrees, of which at least 60 must be at the master's degree level.
Holders of an official Spanish bachelor’s degree comprising at least 300 credits, as provided for by EU regulations. Holder of degrees of this kind must complete bridging courses unless the curriculum of the bachelor’s degree in question included research training credits equivalent in value to those which would be earned on a master's degree.
Holders of an official university qualification who, having passed the entrance examination for specialised medical training, have completed at least two years of a training course leading to an official degree in a health-sciences specialisation.
Holders of a degree issued under a foreign education system. In these cases, homologation is not required, but the UPC must verify that the degree certifies a level of training equivalent to an official Spanish master's degree and qualifies the holder for admission to doctoral studies in the country where it was issued. Admission on this basis does not imply homologation of the foreign degree or its recognition for any purpose other than admission to doctoral studies.
Holders of a Spanish doctoral qualification issued under previous university regulations.

Note 1: Doctoral studies entrance regulations for holders of an undergraduate degree awarded before the introduction of the EHEA (CG 47/02 2014)

Note 2: Governing Council Decision 64/2014, which approves the procedure and criteria for assessing the fulfilment of academic admission requirements for doctoral studies by holders of non-homologated foreign degrees (CG 25/03 2014)

Admission criteria and merits assessment

The academic committee of the doctoral programme in Optical Engineering will apply the following selection and weighting criteria. At all times it will respect the principles of merit and equal opportunities:

• Academic record (weighting: 55%).
• Contact through interviews (personal, telephone, internet, etc.) (weighting: 10%).
• Motivation (weighting: 15%).
• Language knowledge (weighting: 10%).
• Research experience (weighting: 5%).
• Related completed postgraduate programmes (weighting: 5 %).
Personal contact is made through an interview in which the applicant’s attitude, interest in the subject, ability to work in a team and spoken communication skills are assessed, among other factors. As many applicants are living in other countries when they apply for admission to the programme, interviews can be carried out from a distance using the new tools provided by the internet.

Motivation will be assessed in a written report in which students should describe their personal, professional and academic reasons for requesting admission to the programme. This report should be attached on the admissions intranet system.

In the section on language knowledge, merit will be given for languages that are of interest to the programme such as English, Spanish and Catalan.

Training complements

The academic committee for the programme may require that doctoral students pass specific bridging courses. In this case, it will monitor the bridging courses that are taken and establish suitable criteria to limit their duration.

The bridging courses will be on research training, but doctoral students will never be asked to enrol for a number equal to or above 60 ECTS. The academic regulations of doctoral studies state that bridging courses may also be cross-disciplinary. However, this point is likely to be amended so that bridging courses are only associated with research credits, particularly when an applicant enters the doctoral programme with a bachelor’s degree worth 300 ECTS.

Considering the doctoral student activity report (DAD), the academic committee of the programme could propose additional measures to those established in the regulations that lead to the withdrawal of doctoral students who do not meet the established criteria.

The university master’s degrees that provide direct access to the programme without the need for bridging courses are:

• master's degree in Photonics
• Erasmus Mundus doctoral degree in Photonics Engineering, Nanophotonics and Biophotonics
• master's degree in Optometry and Vision Sciences.
• master's degree in Bioengineering
• master's degree in Biomedical Engineering
• European Master of Science in Research on Information and Communication Technologies

Students who hold a master’s degree in science and technology subjects other than the above, such as:
- master’s degree in the areas of industrial engineering, computer engineering or equivalent
- master’s degrees in the areas of physical sciences, biomedicine or equivalents

The academic committee of the doctoral programme will analyse the subjects that applicants have passed in their previous bachelor’s degree and master’s degree studies and assess their relation with the area of optics, so that they can determine whether they need to take bridging courses. If students have to take bridging courses, the research line and research group in which they will prepare the doctoral thesis will be considered, according to the procedure explained in Section 3.2. Bridging courses can be taken during the first year.

Bridging courses are selected mainly from the master’s degree in Photonics, directly linked to the programme.

Below, the subjects from this master’s degree are listed that are most suitable for bridging courses in the doctoral programme in Optical Engineering:
• Laser Systems and Applications: 3 ECTS
• Building Optomechanical Systems: 3 ECTS
• Managing Light with Devices: 3 ECTS
• Measuring with Light: 3 ECTS
• Nonlinear Optics: 3 ECTS
• Visual Biophotonics and Multispectral Imaging: 3 ECTS
• Image Processing in Biophotonics: 3 ECTS

Enrolment period for new doctoral students

From the end of September to mid-October.

Monitoring and evaluation of the doctoral student

Procedure for the preparation and defense of the research plan

Doctoral candidates must submit a research plan, which will be included in their doctoral student activity report, before the end of the first year. The plan may be improved over the course of the doctoral degree. It must be endorsed by the tutor and the supervisor, and it must include the method that is to be followed and the aims of the research.

At least one of these annual assessments will include a public presentation and defence of the research plan and work done before a committee composed of three doctoral degree holders, which will be conducted in the manner determined by each academic committee. The examination committee awards a Pass or Fail mark. A Pass mark is a prerequisite for continuing on the doctoral programme. Doctoral candidates awarded a Fail mark must submit a new research plan for assessment by the academic committee of the doctoral programme within six months.

The committee assesses the research plan every year, in addition to all of the other activities in the doctoral student activity report. Doctoral candidates who are awarded two consecutive Fail marks for the research plan will be obliged to definitely withdraw from the programme.

If they change the subject of their thesis, they must submit a new research plan.

Procedure for assignment of tutor and thesis director

The academic committee of the doctoral programme assigns a thesis supervisor to each doctoral candidate when they are admitted or enrol for the first time, taking account of the thesis supervision commitment referred to in the admission decision.

The thesis supervisor will ensure that training activities carried out by the doctoral candidate are coherent and suitable, and that the topic of the candidate’s doctoral thesis will have an impact and make a novel contribution to knowledge in the relevant field. The thesis supervisor will also guide the doctoral candidate in planning the thesis and, if necessary, tailoring it to any other projects or activities undertaken. The thesis supervisor will generally be a UPC professor or researcher who holds a doctoral degree and has documented research experience. This includes PhD-holding staff at associated schools (as determined by the Governing Council) and UPC-affiliated research institutes (in accordance with corresponding collaboration and affiliation agreements). When thesis supervisors are UPC staff members, they also act as the doctoral candidate’s tutor.

PhD holders who do not meet these criteria (as a result of their contractual relationship or the nature of the institution to which they are attached) must be approved by the UPC Doctoral School's Standing Committee in order to participate in a doctoral programme as researchers with documented research experience.

The academic committee of the doctoral programme may approve the appointment of a PhD-holding expert who is not a UPC staff member as a candidate’s thesis supervisor. In such cases, the prior authorisation of the UPC Doctoral School's Standing Committee is required. A UPC staff member who holds a doctoral degree and has documented research experience must also be proposed to act as a co-supervisor, or as the doctoral candidate’s tutor if one has not been assigned.

A thesis supervisor may step down from this role if there are justified reasons (recognised as valid by the committee) for doing so. If this occurs, the academic committee of the doctoral programme will assign the doctoral candidate a new thesis supervisor.

Provided there are justified reasons for doing so, and after hearing any relevant input from the doctoral candidate, the academic committee of the doctoral programme may assign a new thesis supervisor at any time during the period of doctoral study.

If there are academic reasons for doing so (an interdisciplinary topic, joint or international programmes, etc.) and the academic committee of the programme gives its approval, an additional thesis supervisor may be assigned. Supervisors and co-supervisors have the same responsibilities and academic recognition.

The maximum number of supervisors of a doctoral thesis is two: a supervisor and a co-supervisor.

For theses carried out under a cotutelle agreement or as part of an Industrial Doctorate, if necessary and if the agreement foresees it this maximum number of supervisors may not apply. This notwithstanding, the maximum number of supervisors belonging to the UPC is two.

Permanence

The academic committee of the programme may authorise an extension of up to one year for full-time doctoral candidates who have not applied to deposit their thesis by the end of the three-year period of study, in the terms outlined in the Academic Regulations for Doctoral Studies of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. In the case of part-time candidates, an extension of two years may be authorised. In both cases, in exceptional circumstances a further one-year extension may be granted by the Doctoral School's Standing Committee, upon the submission of a reasoned application by the academic committee of the doctoral programme.

A doctoral candidate may be dismissed from a doctoral programme for the following reasons:

The doctoral candidate submitting a justified application to withdraw from the programme.
The maximum period of study and of extensions thereof ending.
The doctoral candidate not having enrolled every academic year (unless he or she has been authorised to temporarily withdraw).
The doctoral candidate failing two consecutive assessments.
The doctoral candidate having disciplinary proceedings filed against him or her that rule that he or she must be dismissed from the UPC.

International Mention

The doctoral degree certificate may include International Doctorate mention. In this case, the doctoral candidate must meet the following requirements:

a) During the period of study leading to the award of the doctoral degree, the doctoral candidate must have spent at least three months at a respected higher education institution or research centre outside Spain to complete courses or do research work. The stays and activities carried out must be endorsed by the thesis supervisor and authorised by the academic committee of the programme. The candidate must provide a certifying document issued by the person responsible for the research group of the body or bodies where the stay or activity was completed. This information will be added to the doctoral student’s activity report.
b) Part of the thesis (at least the summary and conclusions) must be written and presented in one of the languages commonly used for science communication in the relevant field of knowledge, which must not be an official language of Spain. This rule does not apply to stays and reports in Spanish or to experts from Spanish-speaking countries.
c) At least two PhD-holding experts belonging to a higher education institution or research centre outside Spain must have issued officially certified reports on the thesis.
d) The thesis examination committee must have included at least one PhD-holding expert from a higher education or research institution outside Spain who was not responsible for the candidate’s stay abroad (point a) above).
e) The thesis defence must have taken place on UPC premises or, in the case of joint programmes, at the location specified in the collaboration agreement.

Learning resources

The doctoral programme in Optical Engineering is taught continuously and satisfactorily. Students have access to material resources (research laboratories, offices, specific research resources, computer resources, a mechanical and electronic workshop) belonging to the department and CD6 research centre that are involved. General UPC services are also available (computer, audiovisual, university libraries).

The GOAPI research group is situated in the Department of Optics and Optometry in the TR8 building of the Terrassa Campus, UPC. It has two research laboratories (a total of 114 m²) equipped for optical and digital image processing and other optical signals, and funded through public and private projects. It also has an office exclusively for doctoral students (25 m²). In addition, doctoral students can use meeting rooms and classrooms of various sizes in the TR8 building for meetings, courses or seminars. All these rooms are fully equipped.

The GREO research group is in CD6, housed in the TR11 building of the Terrassa Campus of the UPC. It has five research laboratories (a total of 310 m²), equipped with the basic and specialised material required to carry out the projects that are undertaken there, funded through public and private research projects. It also has a prototype room of 60 m² for the integration, adjustment and testing of devices designed and constructed in CD6. It is situated close to the workshops and has all the services required for its function. For grantholders, there is an office exclusively for doctoral students (60 m²) and an office shared with the teaching and research staff (80 m²). In addition, in CD6 there are two meeting rooms and a classroom-library where meetings, courses and seminars are held. All of these areas are perfectly equipped.

In addition, the mechanical and electronic workshops of the Department of Optics and Optometry are found in CD6. These workshops occupy a total space of 110 m² and have cutting-edge equipment to support the design and construction of projects. The mechanical workshop has machine tools and measuring instruments that are suitable for the work that is carried out. The electronics workshop has development tools for families of microcontrollers of 8 and 16 bits and to develop programmable logic, types CPLD and FPGA.

The DONLL research group is in the Gaia (TR14) research building of the Terrassa Campus, UPC. It has two research laboratories (total of 50 m²) that are fully equipped to carry out nonlinear optical and laser dynamics experiments (optical spectrum analyser, RF analyser, oscilloscope, signal generators, etc.), funded through public and private projects.. It also has three offices for doctoral students (50 m²). Doctoral students can also use two meeting rooms (Gaia building) and classrooms (in ETSEIAT) of various sizes, for meetings, courses and seminars. All of these are perfectly equipped (one room has videoconference equipment).

The VOS emerging research group (Vision, Optometry and Health) is in the Clínica Universitaria de la Visión (CUV; TR30), where much of the research work is carried out. The members of the VOS have various units available to them that are perfectly equipped to carry out mainly clinical research. Some notable units are those of Vision and Learning, Contact Lenses and Low Vision.

Finally, the TIEG research group is situated in the TR2 building of the Terrassa Campus, UPC. It has five research laboratories (a total of 135 m²), equipped with the basic and specialised material required to carry out the projects that are undertaken there, funded through public and private research projects. It also has an office shared with teaching and research staff for doctoral students.

All the research groups earmark part of their funding from public and private projects for doctoral students, so that they can complement their training by attending conferences, seminars and other training activities; and participate in meetings of thematic networks, projects, workshops, etc. Another factor that favours the mobility of doctoral students is that the programme belongs to various thematic networks. In addition, for several years, our doctoral students have benefited from mobility grants that have been awarded by the Ministry of Education. As the programme has an Excellence Award, the students have also taken part in specific calls to promote the mobility of students and lecturers.

Thesis abstract: This thesis makes a significant contribution to the realm of medical diagnostics through the utilization of photonic technologies and emerging imaging modalities, leading to the creation of innovative approaches for diagnosing and monitoring skin and blooddisorders. As a contribution to the improvement of skin cancer diagnosis, a multispectral imaging system in the near-infrared range was constructed and calibrated, based on an InGaAs sensor with sensitivity spanning from 995 nm to 1613 nm. This system was coupled with a multispectral imaging system in the visible and near-infrared range (414 nm - 995 nm) and a three-dimensional imaging scanner. These photonic tools enabled the acquisition of three-dimensional profiles of the cutaneous lesions in addition to their multispectral images across a wide range of wavelengths, particularly in the near-infrared, where deeper penetration into the layers of the skin is achieved. The resulting dataset comprised hundreds of images of skin lesions, encompassing melanomas, nevi, and basal cell carcinomas. New spectral and morphological parameters were derived from three-dimensional profiles and multispectral images of skin lesions. Statistical and algebraic algorithms were applied to enhance sensitivity and specificity rates in the classification of these lesions. Additionally, deep learning techniques utilizing convolutional neural networks were incorporated, significantly improving the accuracy of lesion classification. In the domain of red blood cell disease diagnosis, confocal microscopy was utilized to investigate morphological, absorption, and fluorescence differences in red blood cells in conditions such as hereditary spherocytosis and thalassemia. It was observed that affected red blood cells exhibited autofluorescence when excited at 405 nm, with emissions detected within a spectral range extending from 425 nm to 790 nm. Furthermore, new immunostaining protocols for red blood cells and software for the automated detection of spherocytes in blood samples were developed, enhancing diagnosticefficiency.

Thesis abstract: Diffractive multifocal intraocular lens typically uses a hybrid refractive-diffractive design that consist of a high-power refractive baselens and a low-power diffractive profile engraved on one of its surfaces. These lenses are used to provide the pseudophakic eye withsharp vision, at near and far object distances, with a quality that depends on the design of the lens.This sort of lenses shows distinct wavelength dependence compared to purely refractive lenses. The measurements carried outwith an eye model on optical bench revealed the asymmetry of energy efficiency distribution between the far and the near focusdepending on the wavelength used and the diffraction order involved. In addition, the longitudinal chromatic aberration of therefractive and diffractive components, once combined, can reach different values in either focus depending on the diffraction orderinvolved. The main purpose of this work is to prove whether the spectral behaviour of these lenses is transferred in some way to thevisual perception and quality of the patient implanted with diffractive multifocal lenses.After some preliminary tests, it was found that the usual clinical measurement methods were insufficient to address the problem.Therefore, new methods and protocols were designed to assess visual function through high-contrast visual acuity (VA). Spatial andchromatic aspects of visual function were considered by establishing a wide range of viewing distances, light sources with differentspectral content, and diverse groups of subjects.To detect the possible effects of this spectral behaviour on the visual function of patients implanted with diffractive intraocular lenses,a method for VA assessment was designed using specific optotypes illuminated, successively, with four LED light sources: onewhite (W) and three coloured (green (G), red (R), and blue (B)).Additional examinations were performed on monofocal pseudophakic and young phakic observers for the sake of comparison. Theresults obtained with these two groups at far vision distance revealed significant differences between them: The best VA wasobtained with R and W illuminations for the group of young phakics (W VA=-0.104 and R VA=-0.108 logMAR) while it was obtainedwith W and G illuminations (W VA=-0.012 and G VA=-0.009 logMAR) for the monofocal pseudophakic group. For both groups, the Billumination of the test provided the worst VA (0.258 logMAR both groups).Subsequently, VA was studied in the far and near foci of pseudophakic patients implanted with three types of commercial trifocalintraocular lenses: AT Lisa tri (Carl Zeiss), Finevision (PhysIOL), and Versario (Bausch&Lomb). The results obtained showed aclear imbalance between the far and near VAs in the three groups, worsened by the type of lighting (W, R, G, B). With W light, theclinical results reached a high agreement with the VA prediction calculated from the experimental values of the modulation transferfunction obtained with the eye model. At the far focus, better VA was obtained with R illumination (AT Lisa VA=0.1, Finevision VA =0.13 and Versario VA =0.00) than with B light (AT Lisa VA =0.32, Finevision VA= 0.37 and Versario VA=0.22). On the contrary, in thenear focus, better VA was obtained with B illumination (AT Lisa VA =0.21, Finevision VA =0.24 and Versario VA =0.32) than with theR light (AT Lisa VA =0.38, Finevision VA =0.44 and Versario VA =0.55). Additional tests were performed to compensate for thelongitudinal chromatic aberration in both foci. They allowed us to demonstrate the crucial impact of the spectral dependence ofenergy efficiency on the visual acuity.The VA results obtained in patients implanted with diffractive multifocal intraocular lenses were consistent with the energy efficiencydistribution curves obtained in the eye model with the same lighting, showing an asymmetry in VA when using monochromatic lightin the near and far foci.

Thesis abstract: Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a chronic and diffuse abnormality of the meibomian glands (MGs) that occurs in 38% of contact lens (CL) wearers, though the influence of CLs on MGD is equivocal. A topical literature review examining the influence of CL wear on MGs found 15 studies reporting an effect of CLs on MGs vs. seven studies who did not. Discrepancies may be due to varying definitions of MGD, types of questionnaires, assessment methods, CL types, and measurement of one vs. both eyelids. The review concluded that the effect of CL wear on MGD should be addressed with a prospective study including non-CL wearing controls and employing an objective assessment of MGs.The Cobra HD meibographer is an objective instrument used in research studies whose inter-session repeatability (ISR), inter-examiner reproducibility (IER) and within-subject variability (WSV) has not been investigated. These measures were evaluated in participants with and without dry eye (DE) symptoms based on their Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire. Seventy-two participants (mean age: 23±5 years, 36 asymptomatic) were examined by Examiner 1 in sessions S1 and S2 to calculate the ISR, and seventy-four (mean age: 23±5 years, 37 asymptomatic) were measured on the same day by examiners E1 and E2 to determine the IER. WSV was determined from three consecutive measurements of the same eyelid. Mean MG loss of the upper (S1:13.5±9.5%,S2:12.8±8.5%, E1:12.7±8.2%, E2:13.1±8%) and lower eyelids (S1:7.5±6.9%,S2:7.3±6.3%, E1:7±6.2%, E2:7.4±6.2%) was not significantly different between sessions or examiners for all cohorts for both eyelids. The ISR within-subject standard deviations (Sw) for the upper and lower eyelids were 1.3% and 1.0%; mean difference (md) was 0.7±3.5% [CI:-6.25%- 7.62%] and 0.1±2.1% [CI:-3.94%- 4.17%], respectively. IER ICC values were >0.86 for all conditions, Sw was 1.3% and 1.2% with md of -0.4±3.2% [CI:-6.65%- 5.9%] and -0.4±2.9% [CI:-6.15%- 5.31%], respectively. WSV Sw values were <1.4%, and ICC values were >0.89 for both eyelids, examiners and sessions. Thus, the Cobra meibographer is repeatable, reproducible and has low WSV. The relationship between MGD and CL wear was assessed in 31 fitted CL wearers, 43 over the counter (OTC) CL wearers, and 54 non-CL wearing controls (mean ages: 22.2±3.1, 22.3±3.5, and 23±4.6, respectively). Habitual LogMAR visual acuity (VA), Meibum Quality Score (MQS), Meibum Expressibility Score (MES), MG loss, lid margin abnormalities and DE symptoms of the right eyes of the cohorts were compared using Kruskal-Wallis for ordinal and Pearson Chi-Square test for categorical variables, respectively. Univariate logistic regression examined if CLs are an independent risk factor for MG abnormalities. OTC CL wearers had lower VA than controls (0.82±0.17 vs. 0.93±0.12, p=0.002) and more DE symptoms (3.7±2.4 vs. 2.3±2.1, p=0.002). CL wearers (Fitted:0.6±0.7, p<0.01, OTC:0.8±0.9, p<0.0008) had worse MES than controls (0.2±0.5) and more MG loss (Fitted:16.9%±8.8%, p=0.02, OTC:18.6%±11.3%, p=0.001) than controls (11.2%±6.8%). CL wear was associated with corneal staining (odds ratio(OR)=3.42, 95% confidence interval(CI):1.16¿10.11, p=0.03 and OR=5.23, 95%CI: 1.89-14.48, p=0.001, respectively) and MG loss (OR=10.47, 95%CI:1.14-96.29, p=0.04 and OR=16.63, 95%CI:1.96-140.86, p=0.01, respectively). OTC CL wear was also associated with abnormal MQS (OR=12.87, 95%CI:1.12-148.41, p=0.04), conjunctival staining (OR=12.18, 95%CI:3.66-40.51, p=0.0005), and lid margin telangiectasia (OR=3.78, 95%CI:1.55-9.21, p=0.003). CL wearers had significantly more morphological and functional abnormalities than controls. OTC resulted in more DE symptoms, poorer VA, and were an independent predictor for more functional and morphological abnormalities than Fitted CL wearers, emphasizing the importance of proper fitting and aftercare.

Thesis abstract: Three-dimensional measurement of roughness and shape of a surface provides information about an object properties through surface parameters. These parameters are defined by international standards and can describe the feature behaviour of its surface. The main benefit of using optical measurement techniques is that the sample under inspection does not suffer any damage when measured. With contact-based methods, otherwise, the damages can occur.With the evolution towards industry 4.0, there is a need to measure faster with smaller sensors, in order to have a manufacture-quality control close loop. This leads to the objective of this thesis, which is to develop two ultrafast sensors for 3d surface metrology. The first sensor consists in an evolution of an existing commercial system using conventional techniques. It has to be reduced in dimensions and cost-wise, while increasing its acquisition speed. The second sensor must use a single-shot technique, so that with one single image, the sample's surface's heights can be retrieved. Therefore, the current optical techniques for 3d surface metrology are reviewed. There are classified in three-main categories: classical techniques, single-shot techniques and scanning systems without moving parts. The development of the thesis is divided into two parts, corresponding to each sensor. In the first part, the opto-mechanical design of the sensor is developed, together with its corresponding analysis. One of the most relevant changes is the replacement of the microdisplay with a glass checkerboard pattern. The microdisplay is a critical component for measuring with confocal, so the algorithms have had to be adapted to obtain equivalent results. In addition, sinusoidal movement profiles have been studied to reduce the sensor's downtime and minimize motor wear.In the second part the objective is to demonstrate the feasibility of using CKM (Complementary Kernel Matching) for surface measurement. This technique is based on the image processing after a calibration that analyzes the Point Spread Function (PSF) through the optical axis. In order to demonstrate it, a prototype based on two cameras has been developed, a new calibration method has been designed, which divides the image into smaller regions using a matrix of pinholes. A new algorithm has also been developed to detect the height of the sample from the axial response obtained. Finally, a real sample has been measured with satisfactory results.

Thesis abstract: Polarization is one of the properties of light and it is often put aside. Human beings receive light beams and process only the intensity and wavelength information. Our optical system lacks the capability of ¿seeing¿ polarization in comparison to other animals. The vectorial nature of polarization is uncorrelated to the intensity and colour information and this can unveil additional information for improving the current technology.This Thesis aims to develop a camera capable of measuring the full polarization in a 2D scene. In particular, it focuses on the design and construction of a prototype that measures in the visible waveband the full-Stokes vector in a snapshot such that the acquisition time and noise equalization are balanced while reducing movement and registration artefacts.The Thesis starts with the revision of the current state of the art in the polarimetric imaging field. Based on this, the optomechanical design of the polarimetric camera is developed ensuring a faster acquisition of polarization since it integrates optimum states to immunize the system from Gaussian and Poisson noise.Accordingly, this Thesis proposes a general calibration methodology addressed to the radiometry of the sensor, the geometrical aberrations from optics and the polarization elements in the system to transform the intensity measurements into polarization information. Besides, this Thesis studies two imaging modes of polarization, Stokes imaging and Mueller matrix imaging, for different applications. The novelty of this system consists of the use of optimal polarization states in a division of aperture architecture for noise immunization.Finally, this Thesis studies the application of the system to improve detection in the real-world problem of seeing through the fog. Polarization information can improve the range of detection due to the polarization memory effect. This system could be employed inside a multimodal system to ensure detection when others are hampered due to external conditions.

Thesis abstract: Vision is central to human perception. It emanates from a complex organ, the human eye, starting from photodetection in the retina. However, the quality of the visual experience depends on the anatomical integrity and properties of all structures involved in the visual pathway and the dynamic processes associated with it. Since any reduction or loss of vision means a major impairment of our quality of life, many efforts have been made in the development of instruments that can objectively evaluate, diagnose and treat visual conditions and pathologies.One of the techniques that has impacted Ophthalmology the most in the last years is optical coherence tomography (OCT). It permitted to acquire ocular images with an axial resolution of a few microns, which was unprecedented at the time. Since the beginning of OCT, there has been a divide between systems dedicated to imaging of the anterior segment of the eye and the retina, due to technical difficulties associated with the eye anatomy and the technique itself. In this thesis, we dealt with the assessment of these challenges and developed an OCT system can image the whole eye and validated it clinically.This thesis is organized in four parts in line with the defined goals. Part I contains an introduction to state of the art in OCT imaging. The technical challenges to whole-eye systems designs are described in detail and afterwards a literature review about the state of the art in whole-eye OCT imaging is presented.In Part II we describe the design and development of a whole-eye SS-OCT prototype. This part consists in three chapters. The first chapter starts with the requirements of the system and presents the design of the system, including the OCT engine, the optical interfaces and the selection of components. The key novel designs aspects that were developed in this thesis and permitted to achieve these specifications and increase the clinical capabilities of the platform in comparison with previous approaches, are the design of an of an extended-coherence-length SS-OCT engine that included only one single source and one single acquisition module that could satisfy simultaneously all requirements for optimized whole-eye imaging and also the design of a novel dual path dual focus optical design of the sample arm that permitted to optimize the field-of view and the lateral resolution of the retinal interface.The software tools developed for data acquisition and OCT data and image processing were detailed in the second chapter. The third chapter contains a characterization of the final unit. We present an analysis of the ocular safety of the prototype for human imaging and characterize the performance of the system and evaluate if the initial requirements were achieved. Finally, we present the results of in vivo imaging of the whole eye of a group of volunteers. After the design and development phase, the constructed prototype was deployed to the clinical site (Instituto de Microcirugía Ocular, Barcelona) where a clinical study was carried out on patients. Part III is a collection of clinical applications that were explored with the developed prototype. The three chapters of this part are presented in a paper-like format. The first presents the results obtained with the prototype for general ocular screening of pathologies of the anterior segment and retina. The second is a study on the use of whole anterior segment imaging in patients with lenticular opacities. The third is a case series report on the lesions found in a subgroup of the studied patients.Finally, in Part IV, the main conclusions of the thesis are presented. We also present an outlook of the thesis with a proposal of possible improvements of the developed prototype and future lines of research stimulated by this thesis.

Quality

The Validation, Monitoring, Modification and Accreditation Framework (VSMA Framework) for official degrees ties the quality assurance processes (validation, monitoring, modification and accreditation) carried out over the lifetime of a course to two objectives—the goal of establishing coherent links between these processes, and that of achieving greater efficiency in their management—all with the overarching aim of improving programmes.
