Description

Little hourglass type polarization detection camera
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of polarization detection, in particular to a micro hourglass-shaped polarization detection camera.
Background
The polarization detection method has the advantages that the polarization detection method can acquire information such as physical, biochemical and spatial distribution of the object by collecting the polarization state of light reflected or emitted by the object, so that the polarization detection method is widely applied to sky polarization navigation, polarization imaging, stress detection, optical active substance detection and the like, and the basic principle is realized by extracting polarization information reflected by a target. The basic physical principle for polarization detection is to convert polarization direction changes into light intensity changes using Malus' law. The principle of a typical polarization detection device is: the polarized light passes through the rotating polaroid, and the polarization direction of the polarized light is obtained by comparing the light intensity distribution of the emergent light with the Malus law; or the light to be measured is split, and the preset multi-angle polaroid replaces rotation to realize multi-channel measurement, so that the polarization detection based on the Malus law is completed. However, typical disadvantages of these devices are: the polarization direction can be obtained only by rotating the polarizing film for at least one circle when the polarization direction needs to be detected, so that the real-time performance is poor; although the multi-channel measurement scheme can improve the detection speed, the volume of the instrument is increased, and the spatial resolution of the detection for complex polarization states is insufficient. Another solution is to use a time or space modulation method to achieve mechanical rotation-free, but the corresponding technique is relatively complex and costly.
With the development of electron beam lithography technology in recent years, a bionic polarization imaging camera based on an insect compound eye structure appears, a pixelized micro-polarization array is obtained through electron beam lithography, and the pixelized micro-polarization array is integrated on a camera sensor and can be used for real-time polarization direction detection, so that the polarization detection aspect has great application potential and considerable development is achieved, but at present, polarization detection of the pixelized micro-polarization array used by the bionic polarization imaging camera is realized by arranging 4 micro-polarization plates with continuous phase difference of 45 degrees. The invention provides a micro hourglass type polarization detection camera, wherein a Polarization Axis Finder (PAF) or S-wave plate microarray is used in a micro polarization array, when the micro S-wave plate array is used, a linear polarizer is required to be added between the micro S-wave plate array and a camera sensor, intensity information acquired through pixel points on the camera is decoupled by using a corresponding method, and the detection of the polarization direction can be realized. Meanwhile, the PAF can also be a concentric circular ring polarizer, and the polarization direction is angular or radial; the S-waveplate can be replaced by devices with half-wavelength phase delay, such as liquid crystal polymer vortex wave plates, spatial variation sub-wavelength metal stripe gratings, spatial light modulators and the like.

This enables the intensity distribution of the emitted light after irradiation with polarized light to conform to the Malus law; and decoupling according to the intensity information of the four pixel points in the pixel layer to obtain the polarization direction and the polarization degree of the incident light.
