Abstract

Mueller polarimeters (MPs) based on division of focal plane (DoFP) polarization imagers can achieve fast measurements and significantly improve the effectiveness of Mueller polarimetry. In this Letter, we demonstrate a unique property of the DoFP sensor-based MPs: they can be calibrated without any extra polarizing reference element. We describe a self-calibration method that only requires six image acquisitions; based on our analysis, the calibration accuracy is only limited by the noise.
