Abstract

We present a polarimetry method based on measurement of the geometric phase. We implement a dual-path Mach-Zehnder interferometer to measure the geometric phase introduced by polarization optics composed of retarders. The method can be used either to determine a polarization state of light or to measure the Jones matrix of retarders and polarization elements.
