The invention provides a device for the real-time measurement of a sun polarization stokes vector. The device comprises a spectral filter, a wave plate array, a
polarizer array and a
light intensity acquisition camera. A solar
magnetic field provides a driving force and an
energy source for the activity
outbreak of the sun, while the measurement on the sun polarization stokes vector is the only way for the detection of the solar
magnetic field. According to the technical scheme of the invention, a novel device for the real-time measurement of the sun polarization stokes vector is provided. Based on the micro-optical technology principle, the
microwave plate array is prepared. On the above basis, the micro-
polarizer array is prepared and is attached to the photosensitive surface of the
light intensity acquisition camera. In this way, the information of the sun polarization stokes vector can be obtained through the single-
exposure process. Compared with a conventional device, the above device is compact in structure and high in real-time property. Meanwhile, the device does not need to be finely tuned or manually operated, and is wide in
spectral response range, low in cost and suitable for
mass production. At the same time, the occurrence of detection errors, due to the non-uniform response of the camera, aberration and the like, can be avoided. The device can be conveniently extended and applied to other application fields.
