Abstract

A near-monostatic laser polarimeter has been designed, built, and used to measure angular Mueller matrices characterizing the polarization-dependent reflectance of materials in support of research into polarization lidar. Here we explain the system, show that it has qualitatively similar results as previous complex systems, and show example measurements for red brick, concrete, sheetrock, tar shingles, milled aluminum, and plain steel.
