Abstract Full Poincaré beams (FPBs) are proposed for polarimetric applications. Such
beams present all states of totally polarized light across their transverse section at once and …

Liquid crystal variable retarders (LCVRs) are often used in Stokes polarimeters as they allow
the measurement of different polarization components by applying an electric field that …

We present an optimal configuration for Stokes polarimeters based on liquid crystal variable
retarders, with the minimum number of measurements. Due to the inherent variations of the …

Hardware architectures and image interpretation can be simplified by partial polarimetry.
Mueller matrix (MM) polarimetry allows the investigation of partial polarimeter designs for a …

We have demonstrated simultaneous detection of the polarization states and wavefront of
light using a 7× 7 array of angular variant micro-retarder-lenses. Manipulating the angular …

We demonstrated a 40-MHz detection of spectroscopic polarization by a supercontinuum
vector beam with a wavelength-dependent polarization state. To achieve the high-repetition …

The Galway Liverpool imaging polarimeter (GLIP) has been designed to perform
simultaneous linear and circular polarimetric measurements at sub-second cadence. The …

The advancement in nano-manufacturing and many other industries calls for high-
performance metrology and inspection methods. Nano-manufacturing has witnessed …

We present numerical results of the simulation of the polarimetric response of microscopic,
semitransparent specimens immersed in water. The polarimetric response observed in our …
