Abstract

A spectral polarization camera based on ghost imaging via sparsity constraints (GISC) is presented. The proposed imager modulates three-dimensional spatial and spectral information of the target into two-dimensional speckle patterns using a spatial random phase modulator and then acquires the speckle patterns at four linear polarization channels through a polarized CCD. The experimental results verify the feasibility of the system structure and reconstruction algorithm. The GISC spectral polarization camera, which has a simple structure and achieves compressive sampling during the imaging acquisition process, provides a simple scheme for obtaining multi-dimensional information of the light field.
