Image instabilities and polarization cross-talk
Roberto Casini, Alfred G. de Wijn
We expand on our previous study of the impact of atmospheric seeing on polarization cross-talk, and show how the formalism that was developed in that work can be applied to treat t…

Optimal polarization modulation and calibration schemes
Roberto Casini, David M. Harrington, Alfred G. de Wijn
We review the algebraic definition of the efficiency of a polarization modulation scheme, which is commonly adopted for solar and stellar spectro-polarimetry applications, and gene…
