  • Patent number: 12203850
    Abstract: The invention concerns an apparatus for scanning the optical properties of materials using a stationary sample stage and a dual-axis rotational system. The apparatus includes motors for azimuthal and polar rotation, supporting an optical system with adjustable lenses and filters to collect data from multiple angles. This design is particularly advantageous for photo-excited materials using linearly polarized sources, as it maintains static pump polarization, eliminating the need for additional motors or optical elements to align the pump with the sample's rotation. This avoids complications with halfwave plates and broadband retarders, which may not preserve linear polarization across all wavelengths. The modular system accommodates various detectors, ensuring versatility while enabling precise, high-resolution spectral imaging.
