Photopolarimetric Measurement System of Mueller Matrix with Dual Rotating Waveplates

Year: 2006

Type: article

Abstract: A new photopolarimetric measurement system of Mueller matrix of optical elements is developed using dual rotating waveplates. The waveplates in polarization generator and analyzer rotate continuously with a constant radio of revolution speed, and the Mueller matrix of a sample can be obtained in a few seconds. General principle of such measurement and the optimization of operation parameters are discussed, followed by detailed descriptions of the constructed system. Some examples of its application are also demonstrated. The system is sensitive to <10 -3 for each Mueller matrix element for weak polarization elements.
