Polarization aberrations exist in almost all astronomical telescopes. Polarization aberrations
would bring about asymmetric apodization in the exit pupil, leading to asymmetric PSFs. The …

Here we present modeling of the polarization aberrations of the Gemini telescope as seen
by the Gemini Planet Imager's dual-channel polarimetry mode. We first calculate the Jones …

We present a novel method for calibrating a four-axis Mueller matrix polarimeter. This
method is valid even for non-ideal optical elements, as it models all polarization elements …

Off-axis optical systems have several important advantages over on-axis ones. However,
high polarization aberrations, which play important roles in many applications, become …

We present a label-free computational microscopy method, uPTI, which reports components
of uniaxial permittivity tensor, including phase and 3D anisotropy across volumes. We report …

Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) is designed to deliver accurate
spectropolarimetric solar data across a wide wavelength range, covering a large field of …

We present a new approach for correcting instrumental polarization by modeling the
nondepolarizing effects of a complex series of optical elements to determine physically …

We demonstrated a compact optical module that is capable of efficiently generating vector
vortex beams (VVB). With this device, a linearly polarized input beam can be converted into …

Mueller polarized bi-directional scattering distribution functions (pBSDFs) are 4× 4 matrix-
valued functions which depend on acquisition geometry. A widely used backscattering …

Mueller polarimetry performed in low light field with high speed and accuracy is important for
the diagnosis of living biological tissues. However, efficient acquisition of the Mueller matrix …
