AI Article Synopsis

  • An optical system is developed for Stokes polarimetric imaging using a single-pixel detector, leveraging compressive sampling theory.
  • The system utilizes a spatial light modulator to create a series of preprogrammed light intensity patterns.
  • Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of this method on an object with varying polarization characteristics.

Article Abstract

We present an optical system that performs Stokes polarimetric imaging with a single-pixel detector. This fact is possible by applying the theory of compressive sampling to the data acquired by a commercial polarimeter without spatial resolution. The measurement process is governed by a spatial light modulator, which sequentially generates a set of preprogrammed light intensity patterns. Experimental results are presented and discussed for an object that provides an inhomogeneous polarization distribution.
