Outline of Final Research Achievements

Channeled polarimetry is the method for measuring spectrally- or spatially-resolved polarization-distribution utilizing spectral or spatial carriers. This project aimed to develop new types of channeled polarization measurement and control techniques based on novel and flexible use of spectral and/or spatial carriers. We developed hyperspectroscopic Mueller-matrix polarimeters using both spatial and spectral carriers. In addition, ultrafast rotations of polarization and ring-shaped optical lattice were realized by use of a high-order retarder and a chirped pulse.
