“…Polarimetric characterization, visualization, and sensing offers unique advantages for a wide range of detection and classification problems due to its intrinsic potential for high contrast and a dynamic range in different technological areas, spanning remote sensing, material characterization, industrial inspection, and medical imaging. It offers unique optical, chemical, mechanical, morphological, biological, and metabolic information regarding material composition and surface characteristics, including the underlying physical mechanisms [ 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 ]. Flat optics encompasses nanostructures consisting of nanometer-size-spaced optical scatterers—also known as metasurfaces or meta-optics [ 4 , 12 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 ].…”
