Polarization-State Degradation and Compensation of Folding Mirrors in Polarization-Encoded Detector-Multiplexed Infrared Imaging
Polarization-encoded detector multiplexing has recently shown promise for compact wide-field infrared imaging, where multiple field-of-view (FOV) regions are mapped onto a shared detector area and distinguished through Stokes-vector decoding. The practical implementation of this architecture, however, requires reflecti...
