This Polarization in Remote Sensing special issue of Applied Optics presents 11 papers that describe research in polarization measurements and applications. The subject matter covered ranges from a review of passive imaging polarimetry, the first paper, to a presentation of twilight atmospheric polarization measurements, the last.
Imaging polarimetry has emerged over the past three decades as a powerful tool to enhance the information available in a variety of remote sensing applications. We discuss the foundations of passive imaging polarimetry, the phenomenological reasons for designing a polarimetric sensor, and the primary architectures that have been exploited for developing imaging polarimeters. Considerations on imaging polarimeters such as calibration, optimization, and error performance are also discussed. We review many important sources and examples from the scientific literature.
