Abstract

Recently we designed and built a portable imaging polarimeter for remote sensing applications.1 Polarimetric imaging operators are a class of linear systems operators in the Mueller matrix reconstruction space, resulting in a set of measurement channels.2 The nature of remote sensing requires channel crosstalk to be minimized for either general Mueller matrix reconstruction or task specific polarimetric remote sensing. We illustrate crosstalk issues for a spatio-Temporally modulated Mueller matrix reconstruction operator, and show how to minimize channel crosstalk by maximizing bandwidth between channels. Specifically channel cancellation allows increases in channel bandwidth. We also address the impact that systematic deviations from the ideal operators and i.i.d. noise have on the system channel structure.
