Polarization Imaging Capability
The imaging sensor incorporates a repeating on-chip micro-polarizer array with four polarization orientations:
This configuration enables spatially resolved polarization measurements directly at the sensor level.
The system can be used to derive and visualize parameters including:
Total intensity
Degree of Linear Polarization (DoLP)
Angle of Linear Polarization (AoLP)
Polarization azimuth
Linear polarization distribution
Polarization contrast
The integrated sensor architecture enables polarization-sensitive imaging without requiring sequential mechanical rotation of an external analyzer for basic four-state linear polarization measurements.
