The invention discloses a compact micro snapshot
channel modulation full
polarization imaging detection device and method. The detection device comprises an object lens, a full
polarization modulation module and a surface array
detector which are sequentially arranged along incident light, wherein the full
polarization modulation module comprises a first
birefringence prism, a first half-wave plate, a second
birefringence prism, a second half-wave plate, a third
birefringence prism, a third half-wave plate, a fourth birefringence prism and a linear
polarizer which are sequentially arranged along the incident light, the parts cling to each other, the linear
polarizer is arranged clinging to a photosurface of the surface array
detector, and the photosurface of the surface array
detector is perpendicular to an
optical axis of the detection device and is at the
image plane position of the object lens. The detection device is advantaged in that the full
polarization modulation module capable of realizing combination prism light splitting is employed, the interference intensity information of a detected two-dimensional target through
channel modulation at the certain time can be acquired through shooting an image, and two-dimensional space polarization graphs corresponding to all the Stokes polarization parameters can be acquired through utilizing a Fourier
demodulation algorithm for
processing.
