An imaging, variable-retardance, Fourier-transform spectropolarimeter is pr
esented that is capable of creating spectropolarimetric images of scenes wi
th independent characterization of spatial, spectral, and polarimetric info
rmation. The device has a spectral resolution of similar to 225 cm(-1), mak
ing it truly hyperspectral in nature. Images of canonical targets such as s
pheres and cylinders obtained in a laboratory setup are presented. The resu
lts demonstrate the capability of developing systems to collect spectropola
rimetric data of field images by use of the concept of pushbroom scanning a
nd serial collection of polarimetric information. Further development of a
parallelized collection strategy would allow the collection of near-real-ti
me images of real-world targets.
