Resümee

A Directional Polarization Camera (DPC) is a multi-angle multi-spectral wide-field polarization remote sensor that performs polarization measurement. Matching the divergence angle of the calibration light source with the corresponding field angle of the DPC pixel is important in achieving high-precision laboratory polarimetric calibration. A model of matching the divergence angle of the calibration light source with the corresponding field angle of the DPC pixel is established by comparing the state difference between on-orbit detection and laboratorial polarization calibration. This comparison is performed according to DPC on-orbit optical system imaging theory using the differential operation method. The divergence angle of the calibration light source should be larger than 0.14° to fulfill the polarization calibration requirement according to the analysis result of the model. The 499 nm polarization channel is taken as an example, and spectrum-tunable integrating spheres are used instead of the 0.125° divergence angle of quasi-parallel light as polarization calibration light source to test the validity of the model and the analysis result. Using spectrum-tunable integrating spheres instead of quasi-parallel light decreases the average deviations between the measurement DOLP of DPC and theoretical reference from 1.26×10–2 to 4.4×10–3. We validate the model of matching the divergence angle of the calibration light source with the corresponding field angle. The method that uses spectrum-tunable integrating spheres instead of quasi-parallel light satisfies the high-precision laboratory polarimetric calibration requirements of DPC for scientific applications.
