The Ircal Polarimeter: Design, Calibration, and Data Reduction for an Adaptive Optics Imaging Polarimeter
We have upgraded IRCAL, the near-infrared science camera of the Lick Observatory adaptive optics system, to add a dual-channel imaging polarimetry mode. This mode uses an optically contacted YLF (LiYF4) Wollaston prism to provide simultaneous images in perpendicular linear polarizations, providing high resolution, high dynamic range polarimetry in the near infrared. We describe the design and c...
متن کاملAn Imaging Polarimeter(IMPOL) for multi-wavelength observations
— Taking advantage of the advances in array detector technology, an imaging polarimeter (IMPOL) has been constructed for measuring linear polarization in the wavelength band from 400-800 nm. It makes use of a Wollaston prism as the analyser to measure simultaneously the two orthogonal polarization components that define a Stoke’s parameter. An achromatic half-wave plate is used to rotate the pl...
متن کاملMueller Matrix Imaging Polarimeter for UV Metrology
The University of Arizona Polarization Laboratory with support from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has assembled and is currently calibrating a UV Mueller matrix imaging polarmeter (UV-MMIP). The desire for more accurate polarimetric and radiometric sensors drives the need for stringent polarization requirements and the ability to more precisely measure system and component polarization be...

متن کاملThe imaging equation for a microgrid linear Stokes polarimeter
Imaging polarimeters have currently and historically been largely used for remote sensing tasks. They have also been used to evaluate the defects and calibrate the polarization of liquid crystal displays. A particular type of polarimeter that has a great deal of unrealized potential is the microgrid array linear Stokes polarimeter. This type of polarimeter is not often used because of reconstru...
