Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

As one of the most commonly used optical detection technologies today, polarization detection can increase the dimension of data acquisition and enhance the capabilities of target detection systems under complicated circumstances. It plays an important role in optical remote sensing, biomedical imaging, target detection, foodstuff hazard detection, and other relative fields. With the development of polarization modulation devices, polarization detectors, optical materials, optical systems, and the intersection of disciplines such as remote sensing, biology, and artificial intelligence, the performance of polarization imaging systems is constantly improving, and their application scope is constantly expanding.

This Special Issue aims at presenting original state-of-the-art research articles focused on the design and applications of polarized optical systems, such as development of new polarization modulation devices, high-performance polarization system design, polarization image processing, etc. Researchers are invited to submit their contributions to this Special Issue. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Design of polarization optical system;
  • Polarization calibration;
  • Polarization image processing;
  • Polarization defogging;
  • Polarization modulation device;
  • Polarization detector;
  • Multi-angle polarization detection;
  • Multi-spectral polarization detection;
  • Applications of polarized optical system

Aiming at the problem that traditional design methods make it difficult to control the polarization aberration distribution of optical systems quickly and accurately, this study proposes an automatic optimization design method for polarization optical systems based on deep learning. The unsupervised training model based on ray tracing and polarized ray tracing was constructed by learning the reference lens structural feature data from the optical lens library, and the generalization ability of the deep neural network model was improved to achieve the automatic optimization design of the polarized optical system. The design results show that the optical system structure optimized by the network model is close to the reference lens in the full field of view and the full spectrum and that the optical system structure can be designed for different focal length requirements. The success rate of 1 million groups of initial structures designed is better than 96.403%, and the polarization effect of the optical system is effectively controlled. The proposed deep learning approach to optical design provides a new solution for future complex optical systems and also provides an effective way to improve the design accuracy of special optical systems such as polarization optical systems.
