Embodiments also include a three-camera camera system defining a three-camera camera axis with a first camera unit comprising a first analyzer set at 0°, a lens and a first multi-pixel sensor, a second camera unit comprising a second analyzer set at 45°, a lens and a second multi-pixel sensor, and a third camera unit comprising a third analyzer set at 90°, a lens and a third multi-pixel sensor. At least two beam splitters adapted to direct a portion of polarized light reflected from the target to each of the first, second and third camera units. Preferred systems include a processor adapted to produce polarimetric images of the target utilizing intensity information collected by the multi-pixel sensors.

    Abstract: An accurate and robust wavefront-division polarimetric analysis method and device, allows the quasi-instantaneous measurement of the polarization states of a luminous object. The device can be used to produce a plurality of light beams, all polarized according to different polarization states, from a single upstream light beam. The polarized light beams, which do not overlap and which carry information items that are complementary in terms of polarization, are analyzed simultaneously by a plurality of detectors that measure the luminous intensity of each beam. Processing elements digitally process the luminous intensity values obtained in order to determine the polarization state of the upstream light beam. The operations performed by the processing elements prevent luminous intensity variations in the split light beams during the division of the wavefront of the upstream light beam. Therefore, the wavefront-division polarimetric analysis device is robust and its accuracy is not hindered by the experimental conditions.

    Abstract: A system for measuring linear or circular diattenuation in an optical element includes a sample rotation stage for securing an optical element sample; a light source module for generating a source light beam and a detector module. The light source module and detector module are arranged with the sample rotation stage between them, thereby permitting the source light beam to propagate through a sample that may be secured in the sample stage and to the detector module. Linear motion control of the light source module and the detector module, as well as tilt control of the light source module, the sample rotation stage and the detector module is provided, thereby to facilitate detection, by the detector module of the modulated light intensity information corresponding to a diattenuation characteristic of the optical sample secured in the sample stage.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of performing an optical measurement on a sample, such as an ellipticity measurement. The sample is irradiated with a polarized irradiation beam and a return beam is linearly polarized. The irradiation or return beam is modulated with a birefringence modulator, such as a photoelastic modulator, in accordance with a primary modulation signal. The return beam is directed onto a multichannel detector. Typically the detector is a slow detector, such as a CCD, having a response time greater than a period of the primary modulation signal. Detection values are generated simultaneously at each detection element and processed to determine a plurality of measurements. Various measurement techniques are described, including detector signal averaging over gated intervals; a design employing coherent modulation of the gain of an ICCD , and a modulator-coherent flash lamp design.
