Telescopes in polarization lidar often modify the input polarization of the return signal, such that the telescope may significantly impact the depolarization estimates of aerosol and introduce error to the polarization lidar measurements. The error cannot be corrected by a traditional calibration constant. We present a method to correct the polarization effect of the telescope. We analyze the polarization effect of a telescope on the basis of the Mueller formalism, and introduce an algorithm for correcting the depolarization parameter of aerosol. A Newton telescope and a Cassegrain telescope are often chosen as the receiver in lidar. Their polarization models are established, and the Mueller matrices are calculated. The components of these matrices are dependent on wavelength, incident angle of the incoming light, and surface properties. The polarization impact of the telescope in lidar can be calibrated by a parameter, and the effects of different telescopes are discussed. The polarization crosstalk induced by the Newton telescope is obvious. The depolarization parameters change greatly with coating and wavelength, and they are calculated and presented. Whereas the crosstalk of a Cassegrain telescope is much smaller, the error can reach the level of 10−3 and can be negligible. The method presented in this paper could also be upgraded by taking into account all of the optical devices instead of only the telescope.
