摘要

线偏振光的偏振方向(PD)测量对于从生物医学诊断到航空航天导航的应用至关重要。虽然基于Malus定律的传统旋转元件方法因其简单而占据主导地位,但它们在速度、精度和机械稳定性方面存在局限性。近几十年来,非旋转方法取得了重大进展,包括电磁调制、法拉第旋转系统和纳米制造的涡流相位延迟器。然而,从实验室原型到现场部署解决方案的过渡受到学科障碍和缺乏标准化性能基准的阻碍。本文对局部偏光测量技术进行了系统的分类,将其分为相对测量范式(如旋光检测)和绝对测量范式(如天文导航)。我们分析了六种关键方法——机械旋转、电磁调制、法拉第系统、空间变异性偏振器、超表面和涡旋装置——并对它们的精度、测量原理、背后的数学模型、时间分辨率和实现复杂性进行了比较评估。通过建立测量物理和工程需求之间的跨学科联系,这项工作为在新兴应用场景中选择最佳PD传感配置和加速采用下一代偏振测量解决方案提供了路线图。

A Taxonomic Review of Polarization Direction Metrology: From Rotating Malus to Vortex Devices
Polarization direction (PD) measurement of linearly polarized light is critical for applications ranging from biomedical diagnostics to aerospace navigation. While traditional rotating-element methods based on Malus’ law remain dominant due to their simplicity, they face limitations in speed, accuracy, and mechanical stability. In recent decades, significant advances have been made in non-rotating approaches, including electromagnetic modulation, Faraday rotation systems, and vortex phase retarders enabled by nanofabrication. However, the transition from laboratory prototypes to field-deployable solutions is hindered by disciplinary barriers and the absence of standardized performance benchmarks. This review provides a systematic taxonomy of PD measurement techniques, categorizing them into relative (e.g., optical rotation detection) and absolute (e.g., celestial navigation) measurement paradigms. We analyze six key methodologies—mechanical rotation, electromagnetic modulation, Faraday systems, space-variant polarizers, metasurface, and vortex devices—with comparative evaluation of their accuracy, measurement principles, mathematical models behind them, temporal resolution, and implementation complexity. By establishing cross-disciplinary connections between measurement physics and engineering requirements, this work serves as a roadmap for selecting optimal PD sensing configurations in emerging application scenarios and accelerating the adoption of next-generation polarization metrology solutions.
