Abstract

Polarization information is useful for various applications such as remote sensing and biomedical imaging. In general, polarization information is obtained using a polarization camera; however, the measured data are two-dimensional (2D) images, which limits its application. In this paper, three-dimensional (3D) polarization imaging by use of optical scanning holography (OSH) is proposed. Polarization-dependent digital holograms are recorded by changing directly the transmission axis of a polarizer in front of a photo detector. In the proof-of-principle experiment, partially Stokes parameters are calculated from the obtained holograms and are compared with the results obtained by a polarization camera. Experimental results show that the proposed method can measure a polarization object although there is the object behind a scattering medium, which opens the door of alternative imaging fields.
