Our work is featured on the cover of Physics Today

Our recent work (Nature Photonics, Vol. 18, 2024) has been featured in the July, 2024 issue of Physics Today and was chosen as the cover story (see image above).

In this work, we demonstrate how the Mueller matrix - a 16 x 16 matrix quantity that gives the fullest picture of light’s polarization-dependent transfer function - can be imaged across a photographic scene using just two passive optical components. These optical components - polarization-manipulating metasurface optical components, combine the function of many traditional polarization components and enable reconstruction of the Mueller matrix using a Fourier domain method.
