Abstract

According to an aspect of the present inventive concept there is provided a device for polarization dependent imaging, comprising a detector comprising an array of light sensitive elements; a plurality of light propagating units, each comprising: a funnel element having a collecting end and a transmitting end, the funnel element being configured to collect light at the collecting end and propagate the light to the transmitting end; a waveguide having a receiving end and a distributing end, the waveguide being configured to receive the light from the transmitting end at the receiving end and propagate the light to the distributing end, wherein the waveguide is configured to propagate the light through the waveguide in dependence of polarization such that a distribution of the light at different locations of the distributing end is dependent on polarization of the light.
