A dual-photoelastic-modulator-(PEM-) based spectropolarimetric camera concept is
presented as an approach for global aerosol monitoring from space. The most challenging …

Long-wave infrared (LWIR) polarimetric signatures provide the potential for day-night
detection and identification of objects in remotely sensed imagery. The source of optical …

We present a method for calibrating a polarization state analyzer that uses a set of well-
characterized reference polarization states and makes no assumptions about the optics …

Linear and nonlinear components analysis of data from a monostatic laser polarimeter is
developed and applied to the task of remote, nonimaging discrimination among different …

Two methods used to retrieve Mueller matrices from intensity measurements are revisited. It
is shown that with symmetry or orthogonality considerations, numerical inversions of …

Generally all existed measurement strategies in polarimetry are defined by characteristics of
polarimeter'polarization state generator (PSG) and polarization state analyzer (PSA) and do …

We have constructed a theory of polarimetry of illumination used in 193-nm lithography
equipments, fabricated a polarimeter mask, and demonstrated it for a hyper-NA (numerical …

There are many acceptable ways to construct an imaging polarimeter, each with its own
benefits and drawbacks. The most common systems involve rotating elements, but use of …

We present a method for calibrating polarimeters that uses a set of well-characterized
reference polarizations and makes no assumptions about the optics contained in the …

The measurement and exploitation of polarization information has become a high priority in
a variety of Air Force and DoD remote sensing missions. Polarization provides a useful …
