Abstract :
In conclusion the polarization control method is superior to any double scan method since it allows much more flexible apodization and inclusion of phase shifts, and since only one exposure is required. In many cases the method performs just as well as the most sophisticated phase mask jitter methods, while still remaining very simple and robust.
