Affordable spectropolarimetry using MANTIS-3T

PAR Government Systems Corporation (PAR) with Advanced Coherent Technologies, LLC (ACT) has developed affordable, narrow-band polarimetry sensor hardware and software based upon the PAR Mission Adaptable Narrowband Tunable Imaging Sensor (MANTIS). The sensor has been deployed in multiple environments. Polarimetric imagery of the clear blue sky and the sea surface has been collected. In addition, a significant amount of calibration data has been collected to correctly calibrate the sensor for real-time Stokes Vector imaging. Data collected with the MANTIS polarization sensor has been compared to modeled data. The sensor hardware and software is described and some representative collected calibration data are presented and compared to a developing model.
