Advanced Polarization and Coherence Sensors for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Applications
Abstract
Conventional imaging sensors measure irradiance (power) across a scene, and spectral sensors refine this by making these measurements in some set of spectral bands. Spectral sensitivity allows several advantages such as the ability to have day/night operation by using information in both visible and infrared spectral regions, and it also provides material discriminability when the spectral resolution is appropriately designed. Polarimetry has emerged over the past two decades as a useful complementary strategy for remote sensing, persistent surveillance, biological sensing, target detection, astronomy/space situational awareness, and many other applications in intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance.
