Adapted polarization camera

Turning any camera into a polarization camera

March 8, 2022

In recent work, we have shown that a suitably-designed polarization-sensitive metasurface grating when paired with a conventional imaging system can serve as an "attachment" rendering it capable of polarization imaging. We describe the design rules that govern this process, and show as an example the adaptation of a simple machine vision camera with a metasurface grating.

More broadly, the work serves as a guide to using metasurface polarization gratings in optical systems more generally. These may be used as a polarization-sensitive component in a wide variety of contexts,...
