Abstract
This Letter shows the advantage of applying the complete temporal basis in polarimeters based on photoelastic modulators in lieu of the commonly used truncated temporal basis that results in a discrete selection of the Fourier harmonics used for data processing. Results are numerically and experimentally illustrated for a complete Mueller-matrix-based polarimeter on four photoelastic modulators.
