The measurement of Mueller matrix provides one of the most promising solutions for the exploration of spatial material, characterization of nanomaterials, biomedical diagnostics. The extension of its application range and scenarios is a hot-spot in the area of Muller matrix measurement. The project proposes a novel method to realize remote measurement of Mueller matrix. By employing differential modulation of the state of polarization (SOP), a nonlinear measurement matrix equation, which is immune to the influence of random polarization effect of long fiber, is raised. Solving the nonlinear equation with the system estimation theory, the Mueller matrix of remote sample can be measured. Basing on the proposed measurement theory, the project aims at the study of two novel Mueller matrix polarimeters: A remote multipoint Mueller matrix polarimeter by employing commercial liquid crystal (LC) wave-plates, which modulates SOP in time domain; and a remote snapshot Mueller matrix polarimeter by employing specially-fabricated spatial polarization modulation liquid crystal (SPM-LC) wave-plates, which modulate SOP in spatial domain. The project proposes to fabricate the SPM-LC wave-plates, by controlling the photo-alignment of LC molecules with UV mask exposure in multi-domain structure. The SPM-LC wave-plates will be customized with the optimal spatial SOP pattern for the snapshot Mueller matrix measurement. .Two innovative significances are included in the project: The theoretical model proposed for remote measurement of Mueller matrix, and the fabrication of SPM-LC wave-plates, which opened a way for optimizing optical systems with customized LC optical devices by employing the emerging LC nano-micro photo-alignment control technology. The implementation of the project will extend the Mueller matrix measurement technology to remote, on-line and fast-moving applications.
