Computational ghost polarimetry of the objects with amplitude and phase anisotropy

This work exhibits the experimental implementation of computational ghost polarimetry in classical light. Computational schemes in ghost imaging are the most intriguing, as they allow obtaining information about the object in single-arm optical setups. This research demonstrates for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, the possibility of using the computational ghost polarimetry method to reconstruct the polarization properties map of objects with phase anisotropy. The proposed method is based on the Jones matrix formalism and can be generalized to objects with a nonuniform spatial distribution of amplitude and phase anisotropy.
