Abstract: Embodiments provide an integrated miniature polarimeter and spectrograph (IMPS) and associated methods for using an IMPS to determine Stokes parameters to describe a source beam. In one embodiment an IMPs is provided comprising a spectropolarimeter module. The spectropolarimeter module comprises a miniature optical bench; a slit component; a birefringent wedge; a dichroic prism; a spectral disperser; and a focal plane array. The slit component, birefringent wedge, dichroic prism, spectral disperser, and focal plane array are mounted to the miniature optical bench such that a beam incident on the slit component will be incident on (1) the birefringent wedge, (2) the dichroic prism, (3) the spectral disperser, and (4) the focal plane array, in that order.

Abstract: A catadioptric telescope is a modified version of a conventional Maksutov-Cassegrain optical telescope. In accordance with the invention, the reflecting surfaces of the primary mirror and the secondary spot mirror are on the second surfaces of the primary mirror and correcting lens, respectively. In further accordance with the invention, two of these telescopes can be joined together to form a binocular telescope array. The array can be easily customized to suit different remote sensing/satellite applications.
