“…Spectral polarization imaging (SPI) aims to obtain four-dimensional (4D) representation data of target scenes, consisting of two-dimensional (2D) spatial information, onedimensional spectral information, and the polarization state information represented by full-Stokes parameters [1,2]. Due to the its ability to reveal and retrieve target information, e.g., material composition, surface texture and characteristic details, SPI has been extensively applied in many night-vision-related fields, such as anomaly detection, field reconnaissance, night navigation, and so on [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10].…”

Liquid crystal tunable filters (LCTFs) are extensively used in hyperspectral imaging systems to obtain spectral information of target scenes. However, a typical LCTF can only filter linearly polarized light, greatly reducing the transmittance of the system and limiting its application in spectral and polarization imaging. In this paper, a spectropolarimeter using Mach–Zehnder structured LCTFs (MZ-LCTFs) combined with liquid crystal variable retarders (LCVRs) is proposed. The polarized beam splitter (PBS) can make full use of the two polarization components of the incident light to improve the transmittance of the system. Specifically, the results show that the mean pixel intensity (MPI) of spectral images is improved by 93.48% compared to a typical LCTF. Subsequently, the average signal to noise ratio (SNR) of filtered and unfiltered images when simultaneously using polarization S and P channels is increased by 2.59 dB compared to a single channel. In addition, the average Standard Deviations (STDs) of DoLP and DoCP are 0.016 and 0.018, respectively. The proposed method has the potential to be applied to obtain polarization information with high optical efficiency and a full spectrum in a wide band.

In this Letter, we investigate a snapshot spectral-polarimetric-volumetric imaging (SSPVI) system using a single detector. Through compressed acquisition and reconstruction, SSPVI can achieve spectral imaging ( x , y , λ ) , polarization imaging ( x , y , ψ , χ ) , and light field imaging ( x , y , θ , φ ) simultaneously. The newly discovered performance is showcased by attaining the spectral-polarimetric-volumetric video and different laboratory accuracy experiments. These never-seen-before capacities of the camera open new prospects for many applications, such as biological analysis, object recognition, and remote sensing.
