Imaging polarimetry

In practice, all 16 elements very often may not be independent. Some may be zero and some may be identical to others depending on symmetry and other physical properties of the studied object [7,8], A typical example is the deterministic class of objects which have less than seven independent elements. Hence, in measuring all 16 elements of the deterministic Mueller matrix, more than 50% are uni nformative measurements. This problem is relevant to imaging polarimetry, since time and storage requirements are important considerations. The number of independent elements of the Mueller matrix can be taken into account in developing a polarimeter. If one takes only three input polarizations, (4.9) can be stractured in the following way ...

Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) - G. Fasio, P.I., Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory. Will use IhSb and Si As arrays and dic oic to provide simultaneous imaging, polarimetry in two bands, grism spectroscopy with InSb. 

We constructed a liquid nitrogen cooled infrared camera (PICNIC), whidi uses a NICM0S3 256 X 256 format array detector and a new optical syst which consists of reflective optics (Fig. 1). Two additional componoits, a rotating half wave plate polarimeter and a prism, can be attadied in front of the camera, enabling us to obtain imaging polarimetry and multi-object spectroscopy.
