Abstract

This paper presents a spectral polarization measurement method for single-frame imaging. The method is based on intensity-modulated, coded aperture measurement, comprising a spectral polarization intensity modulation and a compressive sensing spectral imaging system. The incident light is modulated by two multistage phase retarders and a polarizer, and the spectrum’s Stokes parameters are shifted to different frequency channels. The spectrum of the modulated light is obtained by a spectral imaging system composed of a coded aperture and a dispersive prism. The modulated spectral information is reconstructed using the TwIST algorithm, and the Stokes elements can be demodulated from it. Taking a pixel as an example, numerical simulations of the modulation of incident light intensity modulation, spectral reconstruction, and demodulation of Stokes parameters show that the method can acquire spectral polarization information of sparse images. This process needs only one measurement of the object and is therefore capable of high-speed acquisition.
