    Area of Science:

    • Geophysics
    • Mineral Physics
    • Remote Sensing

    Background:

    • Emission polarization of minerals is influenced by their optical properties.
    • Understanding spectral polarization is crucial for remote sensing applications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To calculate and analyze the spectral emission polarization of quartz and calcite.
    • To investigate the wavelength-dependence of polarization for remote sensing potential.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized Fresnel's equations with complex refractive indices for quartz and calcite.
    • Calculated polarization for observation angles of 20 and 70 degrees.
    • Performed field measurements using a broadband infrared radiometer.

    Main Results:

    • Polarization is highly wavelength-dependent for quartz and calcite.
    • Narrow spectral bands (1.5 microm) show significantly higher polarization than broad bands (6 microm).
    • Field measurements of quartz-rich rocks yielded ~2% polarization.

    Conclusions:

    • Wavelength selection is critical for maximizing emission polarization measurements.
    • Emission polarization can potentially serve as a remote sensing tool for rock texture discrimination.
