Spectral modulation for full linear polarimetry.
Linear (spectro) polarimetry is usually performed using separate photon flux measurements after spatial or temporal polarization modulation. Such classical polarimeters are limited in sensitivity and accuracy by systematic effects and noise. We describe a spectral modulation principle that is based on encoding the full linear polarization properties of light in its spectrum. Such spectral modul...
متن کاملSpectral Polarimetry for Identifying and Separating Mixed Biological Scatterers
Through a good part of spring and fall, strong echoes appear on radar screens starting at sunset and disappearing at sunrise. These have been attributed to migrating birds. We examine one such case of echoes in clear-air planetary boundary layer during Fall of 2004 at the time of nocturnal bird migration. Most of the migratory bird movements occur at altitudes below 3 km with the bulk of action...
متن کاملAn Efficient Modulation Scheme for Dual Beam Polarimetry
Abstract. An eight stage balanced modulation scheme for dual beam polarimetry is presented in this paper. The four Stokes parameters are weighted equally in all the eight stages of modulation resulting in total polarimetric efficiency of unity. The gain table error inherent in dual beam system is reduced by using the well known beam swapping technique. The wavelength dependent polarimetric effi...
متن کاملLinear Polarimetry with γ→ e+e− Conversions
γ-rays are emitted by cosmic sources by non-thermal processes that yield either non-polarized photons, such as those from π0 decay in hadronic interactions, or linearly polarized photons from synchrotron radiation and the inverse-Compton up-shifting of these on high-energy charged particles. Polarimetry in the MeV energy range would provide a powerful tool to discriminate among “leptonic” and “...
متن کاملMøller Scattering Polarimetry for High Energy e+e− Linear Colliders
The general features of the Møller scattering and its use as an electron polarimeter are described and studied in view of the planned future high energy ee linear colliders. In particular the study concentrates on the TESLA collider which may operate with longitudinal polarised beams at a centre of mass energy of the order of 0.5 TeV with a luminosity of about L = 10 cmsec.
