Automatic Detection Technology and Application of High-Performance Stokes-Mueller Imaging Polarimeter

The Stokes-Mueller imaging polarimeter has garnered significant interest from various industries, including material characterization, chemical engineering, pharmaceuticals, biological science, and semiconductor production. The polarimeter should be capable of automatic detection to satisfy the requirements of practical applications. A graphical user interface-based automatic Stokes-Mueller imaging polarimeter detection method is suggested. The system automatically rotates the wave plate by the DC servo motor in accordance with predefined rotation angles, captures the output image, and then performs data processing such as polar decomposition, Mueller matrix solution, and calibration-graphical user interface experimentation with picture presentation. The Stokes-Mueller imaging polarimeter automatic detection system's instrument, working principle, and software architecture are explained. The entire detection procedure is automated, which increases productivity. The automatic detection of air and biological samples demonstrated a 20% increase in work efficiency while keeping the instrument's high-resolution (NA=0.95) and high-accuracy (error≤0.24%) performance criteria.
