To measure all four Stokes parameters of a light beam simultaneously, the beam is divided into four separate beams using a beamsplitter and two Wollaston prisms. Linear detection of the light fluxes of the four component beams gives four signals that determine the four Stokes parameters. This division-of-amplitude photopolarimeter (DOAP) is completely characterized by a wavelength-dependent 4 2 4 matrix that can be determined directly by calibration. The instrument has a fast response (that is limited only by the photodetectors) as it has no moving parts or modulation.
