Calibration Method for Division-of-Focal-Plane Polarimeters Using Nonuniform Light

A method to calibrate the errors of polarization information measured by division-of-focal-plane polarimeters is demonstrated. The principle of this method is explained, and its feasibility is verified by theoretical simulation and experiment. The simulation and experimental results show that this m...
