Abstract

In this study, we investigate dispersive effects of a wire-grid polarizer (WGP) in imaging polarimetry. Dispersion in periodic structures such as WGP may cause dispersive misregistration in images captured in the far-field imaging system. As a measure of performance, we defined off-axis non-uniformity (NT_off) and extinction ratio (ER_off) to evaluate non-uniformity induced by off-axis imaging scene. Similarly, we considered metrics to evaluate dispersive effects as wavelength-dependent non-uniformity in extinction ratio (NERλ) and transmittance (NTλ). Significant non-uniformity in the performance of a WGP was measured: the highest non-uniformity was obtained as |NT_off|_max = 0.93211 at Λ = 400 nm and |NER_off|_max = 0.93624 at Λ = 600 nm, while |NT_λ|_max = 0.84935 at Λ = 400 nm and |NER_λ|_max = 0.90139 at Λ = 300 nm. We also present images in imaging polarimetry that suffers from dispersive effects.
