Abstract

A division-of-focal-plane polarimeter based on a dichroic dye and liquid crystal polymer guest-host system is presented. Two Stokes polarimeters are demonstrated: a linear Stokes and the first ever Full-Stokes division-of-focal-plane polarimeter. The fabrication, packaging, and characterization of the systems are presented. Finally, optimized polarimeter designs are discussed for future works.

摘要

本文介绍了一种基于二向色性染料和液晶聚合物客体-主体系统的焦平面分割偏振计。展示了两种斯托克斯偏振计：一种线性斯托克斯偏振计和有史以来第一种全斯托克斯焦平面分割偏振计。介绍了这些系统的制造、封装和特性。最后，讨论了针对未来工作的优化偏振计设计。
