Abstract

Polarization measurement plays an important role in optical detection, communication, and imaging systems. Compact polarimetry with a wide angle of incident light will break the restrictions of the limited incident angle and improve its practicality. In this paper, a full Stokes vector polarimetry with a wide incident angle of ±20°, based on a two-dimensional metasurface, is proposed. According to the simulation results, the maximum measurement error of the Stokes vector at 20° oblique incidence is 0.09. The light transmittance of the proposed structure is higher than 83%. Moreover, the tilt angle of the incident light can be determined with a calculation error lower than 0.5°, according to the focusing position of the transmitted light on the focal plane. The operating wavelength of the proposed polarimetry is set to 530 nm of green light, which makes it a potential application in visible light communication and underwater optical systems.
