An imaging spectropolarimenter includes an objective optic for receiving an electromagnetic signal and a modulator for modulating the electromagnetic signal. The amplitude of each frequency component of the resulting modulated electromagnetic signal is a function of the particular polarization state of each frequency component of the electromagnetic signal. A linear polarizer passes a single polarization of the modulated electromagnetic signal to a tunable filter, which is tunable through a frequency spectrum. The tunable filter outputs a plurality of electromagnetic signal samples at predetermined frequency increments. A focal plane array receives each electromagnetic signal sample and SUMMARY: DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE Department of the Army Availability for Non-Exclusive, Exclusive, or Partially Exclusive Licensing of U.S. Patent Concerning Optical Data Storage Department of the Army, DoD.

SUMMARY: In accordance with 37 CFR 404.6 and 404.7, announcement is 
made of the availability for licensing of the invention set forth in 
U.S. Patent No. 7,023,546 entitled ``A Real-Time Imaging 
Spectropolarimeter Based on an Optical Modulator,'' issued on April 4, 
2006. The United States Government, as represented by the Secretary of 
the Army, has rights in this invention.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The invention pertains to measuring the 
state of polarization and the spectral content of each picture element 
(pixel) of a target scene in real time. An imaging spectropolarimenter 
includes an objective optic for receiving an electromagnetic signal and 
a modulator for modulating the electromagnetic signal. The amplitude of 
each frequency component of the resulting modulated electromagnetic 
signal is a function of the particular polarization state of each 
frequency component of the electromagnetic signal. A linear polarizer 
passes a single polarization of the modulated electromagnetic signal to 
a tunable filter, which is tunable through a frequency spectrum. The 
tunable filter outputs a plurality of electromagnetic signal samples at 
predetermined frequency increments. A focal plane array receives each 
electromagnetic signal sample and outputs a spectrum signal, and a 
processor applies Fourier transformation to the spectrum signal to 
obtain at least one Stokes polarization vector component for each pixel 
within the scene.
