A liquid crystal variable retarder (LCVR) enables fast, automated control of retardance that
can be used as a variable waveplate in polarimetric instruments. However, precise control of …

An imaging Mueller matrix polarimeter, named the red–green–blue (RGB) 950, takes
images of medium-sized (tens of centimeters) objects by using a very bright source, large …

We present a calibration method for a full-Stokes polarimeter. The polarimeter uses two
liquid-crystal variable retarders (LCVR) and a linear polarizer to measure the four Stokes …

The emerging polarization states from a linearly polarized monochromatic light passing
through a rotating linear quarter-wave plate have been characterized as the intersection …

We present a method for calibration and data extraction for a nonoptimized Mueller matrix
polarimeter. The advantage of this type of method is a reduction in measurement time for …

We present a comparison of two experimental methods to measure retardance as a function
of applied voltage and as a function of position over the aperture of liquid-crystal variable …

A liquid crystal variable retarder (LCVR) experiences significant thermal effects when
exposed to high-power continuous-wave lasers, leading to the degradation of its phase …

The laser performance of liquid-crystal devices (LCDs) must be considered because of their
applications in laser systems. The phase modulation variation mechanisms, as well as the …

An optimized Mueller-matrix polarimeter is simulated. The polarimeter is optimized by
finding the configurations of the polarization state generator and polarization state analyzer …

In this work, the error sources that affect a dual rotating retarder polarimeter working in a
discrete rotation scheme are studied. Moreover, those errors not sufficiently analyzed in the …
