Abstract A tempo-spatially mixed modulation Fourier transform imaging
re-
spectropolarimeter based on polarization modulation array (PMAFTISP) without internal moving parts was presented, which can obtain the image, spectrum, and full-stokes parameters of the target at the same time. The principle and feasibility were validated with simulations. The system was simulated and the influence of

retarder error on the recovery of the full-Stokes parameters was mainly analyzed. Compared with channeled interference imaging spectropolarimetry (CIISP), the system separated four fringe patterns in space, without channel crosstalk as well as simplifying the data processing process. Additionally, the advantages of the Fourier transform spectrometer are maintained, such as high throughput (Jacquinot) and multiplex (Fellgett) advantages.

apparatuses generally suffer from vibration, electrical noise, and alignment difficulty [3, 9].

Oka and Kato first described the channeled polarimetric technique in 1999, where the full-Stokes parameters can be detected at once without movable polarization components [10]. However, for the channeled polarimetric technique, it’s difficult to avoid the phenomenon of channel crosstalk, which is particularly serious when monochromatic light is incident [11]. In addition, the channel interferometric
re-
imaging spectropolarimeter can also reduce the spectral resolution. In view of these shortcomings, people have made some explorations [11-13], but have still not been able to solve the problems thoroughly.
In this paper, we presented a Fourier transform imaging spectropolarimetry based
urn al P
on polarization modulation array (PMAFTISP). This method was a kind of imaging spectropolarimetry with aperture divided, which separate fringe pattern in different direction thus imaging on a different area of CCD camera. It avoided channel crosstalk in principle and simplifies the process of data processing. Meanwhile, it can achieve higher spectral resolution as the channel imaging spectropolarimetry. In addition, the optical elements that made up the system were relatively simple, and the whole system was compact.
This paper was organized as follows: firstly, the optical configuration and theoretical model and achromatic four-face pyramid prism were described in section 2; then, the Fourier transform imaging spectropolarimetry based on polarization array was simulated in Section 3; next, in Section 4, we deduced the formula of Stokes parameters error caused by the fast axis direction and retardance deviation of the

Polarization modulation array consisted of a retarders array, a linear polarizer array, and a Superachromatic Achromatic Half-Wave Plate (SAHWP) array. Retarders array was composed of two retarders whose fast axis was 0°, 45° relative to the x-axis respectively.

The incident light from target was imaged on field stop M by lens L1 and collimated by lens L2. The parallel light passed through polarization modulation array

The 0° oriented polarized light was parallel laterally sheared by the Savart polariscope into a pair of equal-amplitude but orthogonally polarized components [3]. After passing through P2 the identical linearly polarized components were extracted and recombined onto the CCD camera by P3 and

4 Error analysis on the recovery of Stokes parameters 4.1 Retarder error
In the actual installation and adjustment, each optical element may deviate more or less from the design value. As the retarder array was one of the core elements of the polarization modulation module, analysis of it was helpful to understand the system, so the effects of retarder R1 error on the restored Stokes spectrum were mainly analyzed.

crosstalk ", i.e., when the fast axis or the transmission axis of the polarization modulation array including the retarders and the line polarizers had an alignment error and deviated from the ideal design value, if the original formula was calculated, the restored Stokes parameter would be introduced into other Stokes components that did not exist in the previous formula. It was somewhat similar to the channel crosstalk in
re-
channeled spectropolarimetry [10, 11], but the causes and effects of the two were different. As far as we knew, the channel crosstalk in channeled spectropolarimetry can’t be avoided in principle by now, which not only caused the restored Stokes parameters to deviate from the true value but also reduced the spectral resolution.

Fortunately, "polarization modulation array crosstalk" can be avoided in theory. In equation (7-2) when set 1 =0 , the error of S1 (σ) was zero, thus "polarization modulation array crosstalk " in S1 (σ) can be avoided. It meant that when a manufacture or adjust, one should pay more attention to the direction of the retarder's fast axis and try to achieve the designed value. Similarly, in equation (7-3) when set
2 =0 , the error of S2 (σ) was zero. From equation (7-4), the stokes parameter S3 (σ) was somewhat different which need to simultaneously set 2 =0 and 2 =0 to avoid the "polarization modulation array crosstalk". It was relatively strict. Using the narrowband Gaussian type fully polarized incident light shown in Fig.
5 (a), we simulated the maximum relative errors of retardance deviation and fast axis direction deviation of the retarder to Stokes parameters S1 (σ), S2 (σ), and S3 (σ)

respectively. The results were shown in Fig. 8, Fig.9 and Fig.10. From Fig.8 and Fig.9, one can notice that the fast axis direction deviation of the retarder was more sensitive to the Stokes parameters S1 (σ), S2 (σ) recovery than its retardance deviation, and
Journal Pre-proof
when the fast axis direction deviation of the retarder was very small, the maximum relative error of the recovery Stokes parameters was also very small. For S1 (σ) this
of
value 1 was about 0.003rad, while this value 2 was approximate 0.001rad for S2 (σ). In Fig.10, the retardance deviation of the retarder and its fast axis direction deviation made an approximate equally contributed to the maximum relative error of
pro
the S3 (σ). Combined with these analyses, the priority order of retarder error concerned about was: fast axis direction deviation 2 , fast axis direction deviation
1 , retardance deviation 2 , retardance deviation 1 . Moreover, the allowable deviation can be further expanded by the subsequent spectrum and polarization

The alignment error occurred not only on the retarder array R1 but also on the linear polarization array P1 and SAHWP. SAHWP played a role in rotating the polarization direction of the four beams passing through it to the horizontal direction
of
in the optical layout of the PMAFTISP showed in Fig. 1, and the alignment error of SAHWP mainly affected the visibility of interference fringes. So here, the mixed
pro
alignment errors of R1 and P1 were analyzed. Using the Monte Carlo method, the random error of the uniform distribution of the average value of 0 and the range between -0.005 rad and 0.005 rad was selected to simulate the two fast-axis alignment errors, two retardance errors of R1 and four transmission axis alignment errors of P1 .The random points were set to be 5000, and the incident light was still the

The maximum relative error for the recovery Stokes parameter S0 (σ), S1 (σ), S2 (σ), S3 (σ) were shown in Fig.11(a), Fig.11(b), Fig.11(c) Fig.11(d) respectively. One can see that the effect of alignment errors on the recovery of a, b, c, d increased in turn, and c, d

PMAFTISP is essentially a method based on divided aperture, which divided the aperture into four equal-sized partitions, at the expense of half the spatial resolution
re-
and spectral resolution. Let max represents the maximum optical path difference of the spectropolarimeter, for the CIISP in reference [3], the spectral resolution of the reconstructed spectrum of each channel is 7 / (2 max ) , and for five-channel spectropolarimeter showed in reference[13], the spectral resolution of S1, S2 and S3 is
urn al P
7 / (4 max ) ,and for PMAFTISP in this paper, the spectral resolution is 1/ ( max ) , so it maintains a relatively high spectral resolution.
According to the analysis of Section 4, the system has a relatively high alignment requirement for the polarization modulation module, but that doesn't mean it's not practical, and the subsequent calibration process can improve the stokes spectral reconstruction accuracy, and an increasing number of algorithms are proposed [14], which can also be used in PMAFTISP to improve the stokes spectral reconstruction accuracy.
Additional, in practical application, image registration is important and challenged for PMAFTISP. The misregistration of sub-images is mainly contributed by the polarization modulation array, achromatic four-face pyramid prism, and

reimaging lens L3. Therefore, the optical system needs to be carefully optimized to ensure that the aberration of the system, especially the distortion, is very small. In data processing, a subpixel image registration algorithm-speeded up robust features (SURF) [15], is suggested to employ to register the images as done in reference [9].

of
transform imaging spectropolarimetry based on polarization modulation array (PMAFTISP) and verified that the design of polarization modulation array and the
pro
method of Stokes parameter recovery were correct and feasible in principle. As a key component, the achromatic pyramid prism was designed and simulated. We had derived the error formula of the recovery Stokes parameters when the retardance and fast axis direction of retarder has a deviation, and the concept of "polarization modulation array crosstalk " was put forward and simulated. Monte Carlo method is
re-
used to simulate the mixed alignment error of retarder and linear polarizer. The results were of great significance for the design of the imaging spectropolarimeter. The PMAFTISP maintains the advantages of high throughput and multiplex advantages, and avoids channel crosstalk in principle and can be widely used in remote sensing,
urn al P
target recognition, and other fields. It is the next step to design the optical system and to perform the laboratory calibration and to improve the spectral reconstruction accuracy.
