    Abstract: According to an aspect of the present inventive concept there is provided a device for polarization dependent imaging, comprising:



    a detector comprising light sensitive elements;
    a plurality of light propagating units, each comprising a polarization splitter having a receiving end for receiving incident light, and comprising a first and a second waveguide.




    The first and second waveguides comprise a first and second portion of the receiving end. The first and second waveguides comprise a first and second distributing end, separate from each other. The polarization splitter is configured to propagate received light to the distributing ends. Each of the portions has an elongated shape such that propagation of light in the waveguides is dependent on the light's linear polarization. The elongated shapes are angled with respect to each other, such that the waveguides are configured to propagate different linear polarization directions.
    Each light propagating unit is arranged such that light at the first and second distributing ends is output towards a first and second light sensitive element, respectively.

    Abstract: An imaging polarimeter sensor includes an achromatic beam-splitting polarizer that receives a polychromatic image beam of a scene and simultaneously produces a first polarized polychromatic image beam and a second polarized polychromatic image beam. The second polarized polychromatic image beam is of a different polarization than the first polarized polychromatic image beam and is angularly separated from the first polarized polychromatic image beam. The achromatic beam-splitting polarizer preferably includes a Wollaston prism through which the polychromatic image beam passes, and at least one grating through which the polychromatic image beam passes either before or after it passes through the Wollaston prism. An imaging detector receives the first polarized polychromatic image beam and the second polarized polychromatic image beam and produces an output image signal responsive to the first polarized polychromatic image beam and the second polarized polychromatic image beam.

    Abstract: A light source (11, 30, 40) having first and second wire-grid polarizers (63, 64) and a laser (31, 71) that emits a beam of linearly polarized light that is characterized by a propagation direction is disclosed. The first wire-grid polarization filter (63) is characterized by a first linear polarization pass direction and a first actuator (65) for causing the first linear polarization pass direction to rotate relative to the beam of linearly polarized light. The second wire-grid polarization filter (64) is characterized by a second linear polarization pass direction and a second actuator for causing the second linear polarization pass direction to rotate relative to the beam of linearly polarized light. A controller (29) sets the first and second linear polarization pass directions to provide linearly polarized light having a specified polarization direction.
