Free-space active polarimetric imager operating at 1.55 μm by orthogonality breaking sensing

Résumé

We report the design and optimization of an active polarimetric imaging demonstrator operating at 1.55 μm that is based on the orthogonality breaking technique. It relies on the use of a fibered dual-frequency dual-polarization source raster scanned over the scene. A dedicated opto-electronic detection chain is developed to demodulate the optical signal backscattered at each location of the scene in real time, providing multivariate polarimetric image data in one single scan with limited acquisition time. We experimentally show on a homemade scene that contrast maps can be built to reveal hidden dichroic objects over a depolarizing background, as well as their orientation. Finally, experiments through air turbulence illustrate the benefit of such an imaging architecture over standard polarimetric techniques requiring multiple image acquisitions.
