Abstract: A programmable multifunction spectral and/or polarization imager. In one example, such an imager includes an imaging optical subsystem configured to receive electromagnetic radiation from a distant scene, a focal plane array configured to produce an image of the scene, and a programmable polarimetry subsystem electrically switchable between an ON state in which the polarimetry subsystem receives the electromagnetic radiation and provides polarized electromagnetic radiation to the focal plane array, and an OFF state in which the polarimetry system is configured as a first substantially clear aperture that passes the electromagnetic radiation to the focal plane array. In certain examples, the imager includes a programmable spectral imaging sub-system configurable between an ON state and an OFF state.
