Design of Space Atmospheric Polarization Observation Instrument

Abstract

Map the sky polarization mode is an important feature of remote sensing observation sky effect, describes the polarization signal distribution in the whole sky. The observer instrument design of polarization image acquisition all sky in this paper is used to analyze the distribution of polarized light in the sky, the sky a preliminary determination of polarization distribution around several polarization neutral zone has ring distribution. Firstly, according to the atmosphere the polarization characteristics of information analysis, to determine the basic requirements of remote sensing polarization array design; secondly, gives the design idea of instrument all the components of the system; finally, to obtain the atmospheric observation chart like data processing, access to high quality space atmospheric polarization diagram. Basically meet the request of space atmospheric polarization observations.
