Abstract
We present a general Stokes interferometer/polarimeter suitable for polarimetric imaging the elliptically polarized motional Stark-Zeeman multiplet. We also introduce a fully phase-heterodyne spatial multiplex variant of the system that has been used for imaging of Balmer alpha emission from the heating neutral beam in the KSTAR super-conducting tokamak in Korea. The polarimeter performance is illustrated using various polarization test targets.
