Abstract

A fastest full Mueller matrix polarimeter, to the best of our knowledge, based on optical time-stretch has been proposed and demonstrated. Thanks to the time-stretch-based ultrafast spectra detection mechanism, its measurement time could reach 10 ns. Additionally, a novel, to the best of aour knowledge, simpler method to estimate its main systematic error has been proposed and verified. With the proposed method, static measurement of polarizer and wave plate is executed with a maximum coefficient error of below 0.1. Dynamic measurement of a free space electro-optic modulator as fast-changing phase retardation has also been executed to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed system.
