About
About this innovation Measuring spectropolarimetry over large fields of view is difficult. The wide field optical elements introduce unwanted polarimetric effects. Additional and non-trivial calibration is needed and needs to be repeated, for example as the coatings on the optical elements age. Many devices also use moving parts to scan different directions making the instrument more complicated and more prone to failure. Scientists have invented a device that eliminates these limitations. Proof of principle has been reached and we are looking for partners to further develop a fully operational (commercial) device. The scientists have been working on validating the technology for applications with respect to air quality monitoring. Many more applications are foreseeable and we are looking for partners that would benefit from adding (spectro) polarimetry measurements to their products. Key benefits Highly accurate spectropolarimetric measurements Wide field Multi-dimensional No moving parts Application Air quality measurements Any field where polarimetry measurements add value.
