An improved microgrid arrangement for integrated imaging polarimeters
For almost 20 years, microgrid polarimetric imaging systems have been built using a 2 × 2 repeating pattern of polarization analyzers. In this paper, we show that superior spatial resolution is achieved over this 2 × 2 case when the analyzers are arranged in a 2 × 4 repeating pattern. This unconventional result, in which a more distributed sampling pattern results in finer spatial resolution, i...

متن کاملOptimizing imaging polarimeters constructed with imperfect optics.
Imaging polarimeters are often designed and optimized by assuming that the polarization properties of the optics are nearly ideal. For example, we often assume that the linear polarizers have infinite extinction ratios. It is also usually assumed that the retarding elements have retardances that do not vary either spatially or with the angle of incidence. We consider the case where the polariza...
متن کاملSuper-resolution for imagery from integrated microgrid polarimeters.
Imagery from microgrid polarimeters is obtained by using a mosaic of pixel-wise micropolarizers on a focal plane array (FPA). Each distinct polarization image is obtained by subsampling the full FPA image. Thus, the effective pixel pitch for each polarization channel is increased and the sampling frequency is decreased. As a result, aliasing artifacts from such undersampling can corrupt the tru...
متن کاملLWIR pupil imaging & prospects for background compensation
A previous paper described LWIR Pupil Imaging with a sensitive, low-flux focal plane array, and behavior of this type of system for higher flux operations as understood at the time. We continue this investigation, and report on a more detailed characterization of the system over a broad range of pixel fluxes. This characterization is then shown to enable non-uniformity correction over the flux ...
