The mechanism and
characteristics of spectral polarization imaging technique are presented. The
present research and developing trend of spectral polarization remote sensing are
introduced. A novel method of spectral polarization imaging technique is discussed,
which is based on static intensity modulation adding with double refraction
crystal spectrometer. The static intensity modulation consists of two retarders
and one polarizer. The double refraction crystal is used to generate
interference image. The spectral and four Stokes vectors information can be
obtained only by one measurement. The method of static intensity modulation is
deduced in detail and is simulated by computer. The spectropolarimeter
experimental system is also established in the laboratory. The basic concept of
the technique is verified.
