* U.S. Patent 6,490,043, Kebabian (Aerodyne)
Polarimetric Spectral Intensity Modulation (PSIM*)
Single snapshot (dynamic scenes)
Perfect spectral & polarimetric coregistration
Full-Stokes sensitivity
Conventional single-beam optics
Single CCD array
UV-thru-IR feasible
Novel configuration instantaneously induces polarization-dependent
interference fringes upon the measured intensity spectrum.
Consequently, the full Stokes spectrum can be retrieved from the
modulated intensity spectrum based on the fringe patterns.
