Abstract: An apparatus for simultaneously measuring linear and circular polarization components of light is provided, and contains no moving parts. The apparatus may include a prism assembly configured to receive collimated light and splits the light into different directions according to its polarization state. The apparatus may also include lenses configured to collimate light from an image plane to be analyzed by the prism assembly, or direct the light that is split by the prism assembly to different detectors or locations on an image plane.
