A two-dimensional spectrum recording apparatus has a source of collimated laser light impinging on a sample on a plate. The light passing through the sample forms an object wave and the light not passing through the sample forming a reference wave, which interfere with each other to form a holographic image at the plate. A beam splitter receives the collimated laser light from the sample and forms separate first and second light beams. A linear polarizer receives the first beam and passes it to a polarization camera having a Full Stokes mask. The camera records the light that passes through the Stokes mask. A slit aperture receives the second beam and transforms it into a slit of light that is applied to a diffraction grating. A diode array receives the second beam from the diffraction grating and forms a light spectrum that is recorded.
