Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an illumination device, a beam splitter, an imaging device, and an image forming circuit. The illumination device includes first emitters emitting first light polarized at 30°, second emitters emitting second light polarized at 90°, and third emitters emitting third light polarized at 150°, and illuminates a subject with the first, second, and/or third light. The beam splitter splits returning light and outputs a first component polarized at 0°, a second component polarized at 60°, and a third component polarized at 120°. The imaging device has an imaging surface that includes a first region receiving the first component, a second region receiving the second component, and a third region receiving the third component. The image forming circuit generates an image of the subject based on first, second, and third groups of images acquired when the subject is illuminated with the first, second, and third light.

Abstract: According to one aspect, the invention relates to a device (100) for remote polarimetric characterization of a sample (S). It comprises a source (10) for emitting at least one incident light wave at at least one first wavelength (λE); a monomode optical fiber (30) in which the incident light wave is intended to propagate; a polarization state generator (PSG) arranged on the proximal side of the optical fiber; a reflector (40) intended to be arranged on the distal side of the optical fiber; a polarization state analyzer (PSA) arranged on the proximal side of the optical fiber and allowing, for each probe state of the incident wave generated by the polarization state generator, the polarization of the light wave obtained after propagation of the incident wave in the optical fiber (30), reflection from the distal side of the optical fiber and reverse propagation in the optical fiber (30), to be analyzed. Processing means (70) make it possible to determine, from a first polarimetric characterization of the optical fiber, a Mueller matrix (MF) associated with the optical fiber, and, from a second polarimetric characterization of the assembly comprising the optical fiber and the sample, a Mueller matrix (MT) associated with said assembly. The Mueller matrix (Mo) associated with the sample is determined from the Mueller matrices associated with the optical fiber and the assembly comprising the optical fiber and the sample, respectively.

Abstract: Images are formed from first and second polarized images acquired through illumination of the subject with first illumination light beams, and third and fourth polarized images acquired through illumination of the subject with second illumination light beams. Images of a subject are formed from translated first, second, third, and fourth polarized images, acquired from first and second luminous point images. The first bright spots appear on the first polarized image when the first illumination light beams are mirror-reflected off the subject. The second bright spots appear on the fourth polarized image when the second illumination light beams are mirror-reflected off the subject. The image forming circuit forms images of the subject by calculating a difference between a first average image, obtained by averaging the translated first and fourth polarized images, and a second average image, obtained by averaging the translated second and third polarized images.

Abstract: An optical device includes a first polarizer arranged to receive light emanating from an object moving along a trajectory. The first polarizer polarizes the light emanating from the object along a first polarization direction. A waveplate that has an optical retardance that varies as a function of position along the trajectory receives light from the first polarizer. The slow axis of the waveplate is at a first angle with respect to the first polarization direction. A second polarizer is arranged to receive light from the waveplate. The second polarizer polarizes light along a second polarization direction. At least one detector receives light from the second polarizer and provides an electrical output signal that varies with time according to intensity of the light received from the second polarizer.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems for detecting and classifying individual airborne biological and non-biological particles, in real time, based on particle size and polarized elastic scatter. Auto-fluorescence content may also be used along with particle size and polarized elastic scatter for further orthogonal classification. With polarized elastic scattering, the degree of linear or circular depolarization produced from particle morphology, refractive index, internal asymmetric structures and molecular optical activity can be used for classifying individual airborne particles. Alternatively, circular intensity differential scattering (CIDS) or linear intensity differential scattering (LIDS) can be used to discriminate individual particles.

Abstract: Systems and methods for characterizing an obscurant and imaging a target are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of imaging a target includes characterizing at least one obscurant present in an environment, and determining, based on the at least one characterized obscurant, one or more of the following: one or more wavelengths corresponding to the at least one obscurant, a polarization state corresponding to the at least one obscurant, and a sensor exposure time corresponding to the at least one obscurant. The method further includes adjusting one or more parameters of an imagining system based at least in part on a characterization of the at least one obscurant.
