Description
Summary:A method to calibrate the errors of polarization information measured by division-of-focal-plane polarimeters is demonstrated. The principle of this method is explained, and its feasibility is verified by theoretical simulation and experiment. The simulation and experimental results show that this method can obviously improve the measuring precision of polarization information, and compared with other approaches, the proposed method just uses normal light sources, but can achieve comparable performance.
