Abstract
There is disclosed a system and method for measuring the polarization of light which utilizes a spatially-varying polarization beam. This measurement is analyzed and improved using novel imaging methods and image processing methods on a digital signal processing (DSP) system to determine the polarization of light. Various embodiments are described which can measure light polarization, determine polarizing material distributions, determine the optical rotary dispersion of samples, and determine the circular dichroism of samples. In certain embodiments, the binding constants and binding activity of molecular samples can be achieved. Given its reduced complexity and size, the system may be configured to be portable such that the system may be used in various applications outside of a lab setting.
