We recently presented a novel laser-based infrared (IR) spectroscopic phase-amplitude polarimeter for sub-decisecond and sub-mm2 measurements of organic thin films [Opt. Lett.44, 4387 (2019)OPLEDP0146-959210.1364/OL.44.004387]. Here we report on the hyperspectral-imaging capabilities of this device. The single-shot polarimeter employs a broadly tunable mid-IR (1318-1765 cm-1) quantum cascade laser (QCL) and a four-channel beam-division design for simultaneous phase and amplitude measurements. Fast QCL tuning speeds of up to 1500 cm-1/s enable hyperspectral mapping of large sample areas (50×50 mm2) within several tens of minutes, achieving 120 μm spatial and <0.5 cm-1 spectral resolution. We apply the instrument for imaging both the heterogeneous chemical and structural properties of sub-100 nm thin polymer and fatty-acid films. Our polarimeter opens up new applications regarding laterally resolved IR analyses of complex thin films.
