Polarization & Diffractive Optics for a Snapshot Imaging Spectropolarimeter

Abstract

A snapshot imaging channeled spectropolarimeter is under development. This instrument combines channeled spectropolarimetry and computed tomography imaging spectrometry to enable the capture of spatially and spectrally resolved polarization data with no moving parts. Our goals under this contract were the design and acquisition of two high-order retarders and a computer-generated holographic disperser. These have been accomplished.
