Astronomical instruments greatly improve wavelength multiplexing capabilities by using
beam splitters. In the case of the 4-m National Science Foundation's Daniel K. Inouye Solar …

Polarimetric interferometry is a method that allows the study of the distribution of polarized
flux at diffraction-limited resolution. Its basic observable is the ratio of the visibilities of the …

Using three-dimensional (3D) coherency vector (9× 1), we develop a new 3D polarization
algebra to calculate the polarization properties of all polarization sensitive optical systems …

The polarization aberrations of a complex optical system with multi-element lens have been
investigated using a 3D polarization aberration function. The 3D polarization ray-tracing …

Context. To directly image rocky exoplanets in reflected (polarized) light, future space-and
ground-based high-contrast imagers and telescopes aim to reach extreme contrasts at close …

The flux difference between a terrestrial exoplanet and a much brighter nearby star creates
an enormous optical design challenge for space-based imaging systems. Coronagraphs are …
