SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Abstract of Patents and Patent Application(s)

    I. An integrated microgrid imaging polarimeter comprises a 
repeating pattern of wiregrid polarizers in a new 2x4 array that 
improves image resolution and quality by increasing the spatial 
bandwidth available for each Stokes image despite that the new 
repeating pattern is larger than prior art 2x2 arrays. An example 
embodiment has polarization orientations of the wiregrid polarizers in 
each 2x4 array, beginning from an arbitrary top left polarizer of each 
array and continuing clockwise, as: 45 degrees; zero degrees; 315 
degrees; 90 degrees; zero degrees; 45 degrees; 90 degrees; and 315 
degrees. The disclosure includes an analysis showing development of the 
new 2x4 array and supporting its improved performance over prior art 
2x2 arrays.

Intellectual Property

    Microgrid arrangement for integrated imaging polarimeters. The 
invention is protected under U.S. Patent No. 9,857,226 B2. Such patent 
issued on January 2, 2018.
    The Department of the Air Force may grant the prospective license 
unless a timely objection is received that sufficiently shows the grant 
of the license would be inconsistent with the Bayh-Dole Act or 
implementing regulations. A competing application for a patent license 
agreement, completed in compliance with 37 CFR 404.8 and received by 
the Air Force within the period for timely objections, will be treated 
as an objection and may be considered as an alternative to the proposed 
license.
