摘要

Abstract

Compared to conventional bulky spectropolarimeters

computational spectropolarimeters which reconstruct light-field information such as polarization and spectrum in a compact form factor

are critical equipment enabling new applications. The key component of a computational spectropolarimeter is a tunable light-field modulator

in which liquid crystal-based device is a promising candidate. By varying the applied voltage

the tunable liquid crystal metasurface can modulate the phase and spectral information of the incident light

and after a few trials

this important information can be decoded mathematically. Such a novel approach paves the foundation for developing compact and low-cost spectropolarimetric imaging devices with widespread applications in biomedical imaging

remote sensing

and optical communications.
