Abstract

Polarimeters have broad applications in remote sensing, astronomy, and biomedical imaging to measure the emitted, reflected, or transmitted state of polarization (SOP). An Intrinsic Coincident full-Stokes Polarimeter (ICP) was previously demonstrated by our group, in a free space configuration, by using stain-aligned polymer-based organic photovoltaics (OPVs). These were tilted to avoid back-reflection cross-talk. In this paper, we present a theoretical model of a monolithic ICP which considers the back-reflection’s influence. This includes a comparison between the free space model to the new monolithic model. Experimental demonstrations yield less than 3% error between our model and the experiment data.
