This paper proposes a high-speed Mueller matrix measurement method based on an overdriving technique exerted on a liquid crystal variable retarder. First, a liquid crystal-based simulation model of the Mueller matrix measurement system is established, which helps to confirm the feasibility of the system. Next, an overdriving scheme for the liquid crystal variable retarder is introduced to shorten the polarization-state switching time. Finally, the Mueller matrices of air, a polarizer, and a quarter-wave plate are measured experimentally. The results show that the generation frequency of six polarization states increases from 71 Hz to 417 Hz, and the Mueller matrix measurement frequency increases from 10 Hz to 60 Hz, representing approximately a sixfold improvement. Furthermore, the mean squared error (MSE) of the measurements is below 0.0004. The extinction ratio exceeds 750:1. And the ellipsometric error is below 1.06%. These results demonstrate that the overdriving method enables high-speed Mueller matrix measurements, thereby facilitating applications in real-time inspection fields such as dynamic polarization analysis, online quality inspection of optical components, and biomedical imaging.
