An extremely unique imaging system, that is capable of simultaneously recording both the spectral and polarimetric signatures of all the spatial locations/targets in a scene with just a single integration period of a camera, has been built for use in the long wavelength infrared, 8 to 12 microns. The system contains no moving parts and collects all of its data in a single snapshot. This snapshot capability makes it ideally ...
This paper summarizes the design of an Imaging Spectropolarimeter that operates in the visible wavelength region. The sensor uses computed tomographic imaging techniques to instantaneously form an object cube (spectral and spatial image) during each frame time. This computed tomographic imaging spectrometer (CTIS) is then combined with a channeled spectropolarimeter (CHSP) to form a computed tomography imaging channeled spectropolarimeter (CTICS)) which can simultaneously obtain image spatial and spectral information as ...
