Laser polarimetry utilizes the orientation of the electric-field vector of light for applications including remote target discrimination according to shape, texture, and permittivity.

Advanced Optical Technologies is currently engaged in theoretical and experimental research in laser polarimetry for several applications. See the publications below or contact us for more information.
