The division of focal plane polarimeters is fabricated out of nanowire polarization filters attached to the surface of a focal plane array. Due to limitations in the manufacturing process, the transmissivity of each nanowire polarization filter is different, resulting in a combination of inhomogeneities in transmittance and detector response, and which also yields the problem of polarization imaging uniformity, a more complicated method than traditional intensity imaging. This study presents a brand new nonuniformity correction method for solving the correction inaccuracies in the traditional method. The method corrected the polarization filter transmittance with detector gain based on a new method for calculating the degree of linear polarization (DoLP). This paper includes the theoretical derivation, experimental testing, and numerical simulation. In this simulation environment, the DoLP value was accurately calculated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
