Spatial Fourier-transform polarimetry using space-variant subwavelength metal-stripe polarizers
Abstract
A novel method for rapid polarization measurement is suggested. The method is based on a periodic space-variant polarizer that can be realized by use of subwavelength metal-stripe gratings. The Stokes parameters of the incident beam are determined by Fourier analysis of the space-variant intensity transmitted through the grating, thus permitting real-time polarization measurement. We discuss the design and realization of such polarizers and demonstrate our technique with polarization measurements of CO(2)-laser radiation at a wavelength of 10.6mum.

Incident light does not resolve the fine-structure of a metasurface, so the metasurface can be considered an effective interface discontinuity that may control both the amplitude and phase of reflected and/or transmitted light.
“Accordingly, incident light does not resolve the fine-structure of the metasurface and it can, for this reason, be considered as an effective interface discontinuity that may control both the amplitude and phase of the reflected and/or transmitted light.”

Metasurfaces are characterized by a subwavelength thickness in the direction of beam propagation, while the transverse plane consists of an array of metallic particles with subwavelength periodicity.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
