In this paper we report on the development of Pyxis®, a division of focal plane imaging polarimeter in which a polarizing filter operates in conjunction with a microbolometer focal plane array. The result is a snapshot imaging polarimeter in a compact, low power package that outputs realtime data in both analog and digital formats. Pyxis® is the same size and uses many of the same lenses as offthe-shelf microbolometers.
