Single-shot polarization-resolved microscopy of nanomaterials
Paper in proceeding, 2026

We introduce an optical microscopy approach capable of retrieving the complex vectorial electromagnetic field at the image plane (that is, intensity, phase, and polarization of light) in a single acquisition. The method combines a polarizationsensitive camera with a two-dimensional diffraction grating (cross-grating) placed in close proximity to the image sensor.
