Abstract

This study presents a complete Mueller matrix imaging polarimeter which speeds up the pixel-wise recovery of the Mueller matrix of the scene. Our system allows us to acquire the Mueller matrix in a large field of view using white light in only 4 acquisitions. The camera is based on a division of aperture scheme that allows obtaining four sub-images on the sensor surface, decreasing the typical time of the measurement. The polarization states that analyse the input polarization are optimized to immunize the polarimeter to Gaussian and Poisson noise during the acquisitions. The results show the system can measure the complete Mueller matrix in broadband with errors lower than 10% at each component.
