Bounding the relative errors associated with a complete Stokes polarimeter
(Optical Society of America, 2014-01)
In this paper, we propose a criterion for bounding the relative errors associated with the determination of the Stokes vector that describes the state of polarization of a light beam. No assumptions about the magnitude, ...
Optimization and performance criteria of a Stokes polarimeter based on two variable retarders
(Optical Society Of America, 2010-04)
In this paper we present the analysis, optimization and implementation of several Stokes polarimeter configurations based on a setup including two variable retarders. The polarimeter analysis is based on the Mueller-Stokes ...
Optimization, tolerance analysis and implementation of a Stokes polarimeter based on the conical refraction phenomenon
(Optical Society of America, 2015-03)
Recently, we introduced the basic concepts behind a new polarimeter device based on conical refraction (CR), which presents several appealing features compared to standard polarimeters. To name some of them, CR polarimeters ...
CCD UBVI photometry and polarimetry in the open cluster Trumpler 21
(Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Instituto de Astronomía, 2001-04)
CCD UBVI photometry was carried out in the field of the open cluster Trumpler 21. Our data locate the cluster at a distance of 1380 pc in a low absorption zone with E(B-V) = 0.25. The age of the cluster is estimated to be ...

A pair production telescope for medium-energy gamma-ray polarimetry
(2014)
We describe the science motivation and development of a pair production telescope for medium-energy (∼5–200 MeV) gamma-ray polarimetry. Our instrument concept, the Advanced Energetic Pair Telescope (AdEPT), takes advantage ...
Optimized Stokes polarimeters based on a single twisted nematic liquid-crystal device for the minimization of noise propagation
(Optical Society of America, 2011-10)
This work evidences the suitability of applying a single twisted nematic liquid-crystal (TN-LC) device to obtain dynamic polarimeters with high accuracy and repeatability. Different Stokes polarimeter setups based on a ...
