Infrared Polarization Measurements of a Pure Water Surface Under Controlled Conditions

A polarization physical model based on dispersion-resonance mechanisms for describing infrared polarization characteristics of water surfaces. The dataset likely contains measurements of the infrared degree of polarization for a pure water surface at different altitude angles within a specific waveband, collected under controlled laboratory temperature conditions. It was authored by Yueyuan Wang and last updated on April 24, 2026.

Use Cases

• Calibrating infrared polarization models for water surface targets based on the described dispersion-resonance mechanism.
• Improving background suppression algorithms in polarization-based detection systems based on measured polarization characteristics.
• Validating theoretical models of the dielectric function and electromagnetic response of water mentioned in the description.
• Analyzing the relationship between altitude angle and infrared degree of polarization under controlled conditions.

Strengths

• Data is derived from a high-extinction-ratio time-sharing polarization detection system constructed for precise measurement.
• The model is designed to describe polarization characteristics in arbitrary infrared bands and under various altitude angles.
• Dataset is openly shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Dataset size is 223.3 KB, indicating a very limited scope of measurements.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
