摘要: A four-quadrant detector (4QD) consists of four well-balanced detectors. We report on a Stokes polarimeter with optimal linear polarization measurements based 4QD. turned the intensity-detection channels into polarization-analyzing by placing polarizers and one quarter-wave plate in front individual An optimization method for is proposed to improve measurement accuracy. Considering applications favor instead global all possible states (SOP), we optimize first components then circular component. The capable simultaneous fast varying SOP improved performance polarizations.
