Calibration and demonstration of a snapshot Mueller matrix spectropolarimeter

Although the concept of a snapshot Mueller matrix channeled spectropolarimeter was first presented in 2007, no experimental demonstration of such a system has yet been shown. We detail static and dynamic calibration procedures for snapshot Mueller matrix channeled spectropolarimeters, allowing for real-time adjustment of system parameters during sample property measurements. Using these calibration procedures, we provide the first experimental demonstration of Mueller matrix spectra obtained with one of these systems and review ongoing development work.
