Quantum theory of polarimetry: From quantum operations to Mueller matrices [PDF]
Physical Review Research, 2020 Quantum descriptions of polarization show the rich degrees of freedom underlying classical light. While changes in polarization of light are well described classically, a full quantum description of polarimetry, which characterizes substances by their ...

The Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE)
Results in Physics, 2016 The Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) expands observation space by simultaneously adding polarization to the array of X-ray source properties currently measured (energy, time, and location).

Polarimeters for the Detection of Anisotropy from Reflectance [PDF]
MicromachinesPolarimetry is used to determine the Stokes parameters of a laser beam. Once all four S0,1,2,3 parameters are determined, the state of polarisation is established.

Magnetic field properties inside the jet of Mrk 421. Multiwavelength polarimetry including the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2023 We conducted a polarimetry campaign from radio to X-ray wavelengths of the high-synchrotron-peak (HSP) blazar Mrk 421, including Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) measurements on 2022 December 6-8. We detected X-ray polarization of Mrk 421 with a

Determination of X-ray pulsar geometry with IXPE polarimetry [PDF]
Nature Astronomy, 2022 Using observations of X-ray pulsar Hercules X-1 by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer we report a highly significant (>17σ) detection of the polarization signal from an accreting neutron star. The observed degree of linear polarization of ~10% is far

The Instrument of the Imaging X-Ray Polarimetry Explorer [PDF]
Astronomical Journal, 2021 While X-ray spectroscopy, timing, and imaging have improved much since 1962 when the first astronomical nonsolar source was discovered, especially wi the launch of the Newton/X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission, Rossi/X-ray Timing Explorer, and Chandra/Advanced X-

Neural network assisted high-spatial-resolution polarimetry with non-interleaved chiral metasurfaces
Light: Science & Applications, 2023 Polarimetry plays an indispensable role in modern optics. Nevertheless, the current strategies generally suffer from bulky system volume or spatial multiplexing scheme, resulting in limited performances when dealing with inhomogeneous polarizations. Here,

Application of Microwave Polarimetry to the Characterization of Fiber Misalignment in Composites
IEEE Open Journal of Instrumentation and Measurement, 2022 In this paper synthetic aperture radar (SAR) polarimetry techniques are applied to detect and characterize fiber misalignment in both carbon fiber sheets and glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites. The principle behind SAR polarimetry technique
