Article Abstract
Magneto-optical magnetic field/current sensors are based on the Faraday effect, which involves changing the polarized state of light. Polarimetric methods are therefore used for measuring polarization characteristics. Channeled polarimetry allows polarization information to be obtained from the analysis of the spectral domain. Although this allows the characterization of Faraday materials, the method has not yet been used for detection in magneto-optical sensors. This paper reports experimental results for magnetic field/current detection using the channeled polarimetry method. It is shown that in contrast to other methods, this method allows the detection of the phase shift caused by Faraday rotation alone, making the detection independent of temperature. Although an increase in measurement accuracy is required for practical applications by refining the data processing, the experimental results obtained show that this method offers a new approach to improving the performance of magneto-optical current sensors.

- Quantitative polarized light microscopy is a technique that allows researchers to analyze birefringent specimens by measuring optical retardation and azimuth, which is useful in biology and pathology.
- A new device has been developed that utilizes a near-infrared laser and spectral encoding for quick laser-scanning birefringence microscopy, providing high sensitivity to optical changes.
- The text discusses adapting this technology for visible light imaging using a white light source and hyperspectral cameras, making it easy to convert standard microscopes into advanced polarized light imaging systems.
Spectrally modulated Stokes polarimeters use a pair of high-order crystal retarders to generate a spectrally dependent modulation of the polarization of light. In these systems, the detected intensity versus wavenumber spectrum is usually referred to as a channeled spectrum, and the Fourier inversion of this spectrum allows the determination of Stokes parameters of light without needing any other mechanical or active device for polarization control. This work proposes a spectrally modulated polarimeter beyond the concept of a channeled wavenumber spectrum, so effectively detaching the spectral modulation from the Fourier analysis technique.

Using a geometric phase microlens array (GPMLA) with multiple focal lengths, the proposed spectrometer selects wavelength components within its designed operating waveband of 450-700 nm. Compared to other snapshot spectral imagers, its key components are especially suitable for roll-to-roll (R2R) rapid fabrication, which gives the spectrometer potential for low-cost mass production.

Current state-of-the-art reconstruction implementations favor mathematical simplicity by using significantly abridged subsets of channels. In this Letter, we extend our generalized channeled polarimetry principles to address the challenges associated with multi-carrier modulation schemes.
