Abstract

The potential of infrared polarized signature components for suppressing background clutter and enhancing the detection of dim targets has been investigated. An imaging infrared polarimeter has been built, field experiments have been conducted, and measured results have been compared with theoretical predictions. A description of the measuring instrument, samples of empirical findings, and comparisons with simple theoretical predictions are presented.
