Abstract
Wavelength and polarization are fundamental properties of light that are widely used in astronomy, biology, geology, metrology, and other scientific applications. Standard color cameras are insufficient for wavelength and polarization measurements; specialized hardware is required. Existing solutions operate by scanning over a scene or changing filters for wavelength and polarization -- a slow, time-consuming process. We present a system that can acquire an image and its spectrum and polarization at every pixel with a single image exposure. This snapshot hyperspectral polarization camera has an image resolution of 40 x 30 pixels, samples wavelengths from 400 -- 700 nm in increments of 15 nm, detects both linearly- and circularly-polarized light, and costs less than $1000. I also present a Mueller spectropolarimeter, a tool capable of a complete polarization and wavelength analysis of a 100 mm semiconductor wafer. The compact size, low cost, and minimal data post-processing required of the system makes it suitable for high-speed scientific measurement and remote sensing.
