Polarization Sagnac interferometer with reflective grating for white-light channeled imaging polarimeter

摘要

The white-light channeled modulated snapshot polarization imaging technique can simultaneously obtain targets with multiple Stokes parameters, it need not require image registration and has a simple structure. Hence, it attracts lots of attention in recent years. The theoretical analysis and experimental structure of a white-light channeled modulated snapshot polarization imaging technique are presented in this study. The core part of the instrument is only composed of three components with low cost, portable size and easy adjustment. Results has shown that the RMS between the measured and the theoretical value of normalized Stokes parameter is 0.0276. The outdoor experiment shows that the model can obtainS0,S2andS3in the target Stokes parameters in white-light.
