    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Materials Science
    • Biomedical Imaging

    Background:

    • Polarization state generation is crucial for Mueller matrix microscopy.
    • Existing methods for generating polarization states can be limited in uniformity and accuracy.
    • Optimizing the configuration of polarization state generators is essential for high-performance polarimetry.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a geometric optimization method for uniform distribution of N polarization states on the Poincaré sphere.
    • To investigate optimal configurations for rotating polarizer and rotating quarter-wave plate (RPRQ)-based polarization state generators (PSGs).
    • To evaluate the performance of an optimized RPRQ-PSG in a dual Degree of Freedom (DoFP) polarimeter-based Mueller matrix microscope.

    Main Methods:

    • A geometric optimization method combined with a Coulombic energy indicator was employed.
    • The method was used to determine optimal frames for an RPRQ-based PSG.
    • The optimized PSG was integrated into a dual DoFP polarimeter Mueller matrix microscope for experimental validation.

    Main Results:

    • Uniform distribution of N polarization states on the Poincaré sphere was achieved.
    • The optimized RPRQ-PSG demonstrated effective noise restraint.
    • Improved measurement accuracy was observed when measuring standard samples and pathological sections.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed geometric optimization method enhances the performance of polarization state generators.
    • The optimized RPRQ-PSG significantly improves noise reduction and accuracy in Mueller matrix microscopy.
    • This approach offers a robust solution for advanced polarimetric imaging applications.
