Abstract
The University of Central Florida invention is a type of polarimeter. Its self-referencing nature makes it ideal for accurately measuring the properties of beams in any state of polarization, regardless of their direction of incidence. The compact design and single-shot operation make the invention useful in time-resolved remote sensing applications. Moreover, the design uses all the incoming photons; therefore, it is suitable for low-light applications. Lastly, the concept is general, and it can be applied to any spectral domain, including ultraviolet, visible and infrared.
