In active scalar polarimetric imaging systems, the illumination and analysis polarization
states are degrees of freedom that can be used to maximize the performance. These optimal …

In active polarization imaging, one frequently needs to be insensitive to noninformative
spatial intensity fluctuations. We investigate a way of solving this issue with general state …

We present a polarization Linnik interference microscope with a nematic liquid-crystal (NLC)
phase shifter for full-field optical coherence tomography of high-quality images. The rotating …

An apparatus for determining the depolarization efficiency of a environment includes a
transmitter, a receiver, and signal processing circuitry. A reference object is located within …

Supramolecular thermo aero-able gelators (STAGs): tartaric acid, urea, and guanidine with
carboxylic amide and imine moieties, respectively, as supramolecular synthons are …

We report on the use of an innovative optical characterization technique—real-time Mueller
polarimetric imaging in transmission—for the characterization of thin-film silicon solar cells …

Abstract UV-VIS-NIR Mueller matrix polarimeters are virtually non-existent due to the scarce
availability of optical components performing optimally in such a broad waveband. A …

A polarimeter capable of measuring the complete Mueller matrix of highly scattering
samples in transmission and reflection from 300 to 1100 nm has been constructed and …

The work done in this study supported the development of the United States Air Force
Research Laboratory (AFRL) Polarimetric Multifunction Imaging Platform. Polarimetry can be …

The calibration, testing, and operational principles of an efficient multifunctional monostatic
polarimetric ladar are introduced and related to the system performance metrics. The …
