Abstract
Polarimetric sensing/imaging by orthogonality breaking is a microwave-photonics-inspired optical remote sensing technique that was shown to be particularly suited to characterize dichroic samples in a direct and single-shot way. In this work, we expand the scope of this approach in order to gain sensitivity on birefringent and/or purely depolarizing materials by respectively introducing a circular or a linear polarization analyzer in the detection module. We experimentally validate the interest of these two new, to the best of our knowledge, induced orthogonality-breaking modalities in the context of infrared active imaging.
