[OMC7-03] Evaluating the spatial resolution of Stokes camera

*Shoki Nagai¹, Monia Akter¹, Yoko Miyamoto¹ (1. The University of Electro Communications)

A Stokes camera can display the spatial distribution of Stokes parameters S0-S3, but resolution is an issue when capturing
fine polarization states. To evaluate the resolution of the camera, we evaluate the degree of contrast loss with increasing
spatial frequency. The spatial distribution of S1 in the form of stripes is generated by an interferometer, and the contrast is
calculated by varying the spacing between the stripes.
