Reconfigurable snapshot polarimetric imaging technique through spectral-polarization filtering.

ABSTRACT

In this Letter, we propose a simple, low-cost, reconfigurable snapshot polarimetric imaging technique for a color camera to measure polarization properties with spectral-polarization filters. Experimental results demonstrate the unique capabilities, such as obtaining circular or elliptical polarized information in a snapshot, that are not available from commercial polarization cameras and other polarization imaging techniques.
