AI总结:

本文提出了一种新的偏振调制与校准方案的效率评估方法,用于优化仪器性能和校准序列设计。

摘要:

我们回顾了偏振调制方案效率的代数定义,该定义常用于太阳和恒星光谱偏振测光应用,并将其推广为允许调制周期中的不同状态具有任意通量和每个状态不同的光子噪声统计。这种推广对于建模和优化实施空间偏振调制方案的仪器的偏振效率至关重要,其中不同的光学路径被分配给不同的偏振分析状态,这些状态可能具有不同的通量值。所提出的代数扩展对于引入可行的偏振校准方案效率概念也至关重要,该概念可用于创建优化校准序列的效用函数,该函数考虑了偏振仪器及其校准光学的具体特性。

英文摘要:

We review the algebraic definition of the efficiency of a polarization modulation scheme, which is commonly adopted for solar and stellar spectro-polarimetry applications, and generalize it to allow distinct states of the modulation cycle to have arbitrary throughput and different photon-noise statistics for each state. Such a generalization becomes necessary to model and optimize the polarimetric efficiency of instruments implementing spatial polarization modulation schemes, where different optical paths are assigned to different polarization analysis states, which may be characterized by different throughput values. The proposed algebraic extension also proves essential for introducing a workable concept of the efficiency of a polarization calibration scheme, which can then be used to create a merit function for the optimization of calibration sequences, which take into account the specific characteristics of the polarimetric instrument and of its calibration optics.
