Abstract
This study proposes a design steps of a TFOSC focal plane instrument compatible
optical polarimeter in order to investigate the physical parameters of targets (such as albedo,
diameter, taxonomy of asteroids, porosity) based on the polarization properties of light. Images
captured with Polarimeter will be reduced for the atmospheric effect and device errors. The light
impinging on WeDoWo prism is divided into four different images which is polarized at 0, 45, 90,
135 degrees and used to determine Stokes’ parameters of electromagnetic waves. WeDoWo prism
has been designed by using commercial optical design software named ZEMAX, it is 40 mm in
diameter and has a thickness of 20 mm.
