"Mueller matrix (active polarization) imaging, capture most complete polarization response of an object by controlling incident polarization... simplified 2 thin metasurfaces furthers polarization imaging, 1 illuminates object using polarized structured light reflecting off or transmitting through object being illuminated changing beam polarization profile, other captures/ analyzes the light... no moving parts or bulk polarization optics,.. enables real-time advanced imaging... biomedical, AR, VR, smart phones, target detection"
