Dual-field imaging polarimeter using liquid crystal variable retarders.
An imaging Stokes-vector polarimeter using liquid crystal variable retarders (LCVRs) has been built and calibrated. Operating in five bands from 450 to 700 nm, the polarimeter can be changed quickly between narrow (12 degrees ) and wide (approximately 160 degrees) fields of view. The instrument is designed for studying the effects of differing sky polarization upon the measured polarization of ...
متن کاملFast-axis orientation dependence on driving voltage for a Stokes polarimeter based on concrete liquid-crystal variable retarders.
Nowadays liquid-crystal variable retarders (LCVRs) are widely used in optical systems because of their capacity to provide a controlled variable optical retardance by means of an applied voltage, without the need of any moving mechanical part. Nevertheless, the main disadvantages of these components, reported by users in several papers, are the necessity of using a temperature control system fo...
متن کاملLiquid-crystal variable retarders for aerospace polarimetry applications.
We present the optical effects of different tests that simulate the aerospace environment on the liquid-crystal variable retarders (LCVRs) used in the Imaging Magnetograph eXperiment postfocal instrument of the SUNRISE payload within the NASA Long Duration Balloon program. Analysis of the influence of vacuum, temperature, vibration, and gamma and ultraviolet radiation is performed by measuring ...
متن کاملTarget detection with a liquid-crystal-based passive Stokes polarimeter.
We present an imaging system that measures the polarimetric state of the light coming from each point of a scene. This system, which determines the four components of the Stokes vector at each spatial location, is based on a liquid-crystal polarization modulator, which makes it possible to acquire four-dimensional Stokes parameter images at a standard video rate. We show that using such polarim...
متن کاملmortality forecasting based on lee-carter model
over the past decades a number of approaches have been applied for forecasting mortality. in 1992, a new method for long-run forecast of the level and age pattern of mortality was published by lee and carter. this method was welcomed by many authors so it was extended through a wider class of generalized, parametric and nonlinear model. this model represents one of the most influential recent d...
