Research abstract
In this proposal, we describe a program to explore and demonstrate the possibilities of an innovative optical component for visible and near-infrared polarization imaging (From 400 nm to 2000 nm). Based on Lead Lanthanum Zirconate Titanate (PLZT), we plan to obtain a fast rotatable and variable ceramic programmable waveplate. Using this waveplate produces a polarization controller that will be the key component of a visible and near-infrared polarization imager and will replace the use of mechanical rotation of polarization components.
