A signal conditioning module provides a polarimeter capability in a
photometric system. The module may include multiple variable delay
polarization modulators. Each modulator may include an input port, and a
first arm formed to include a first reflector and first rooftop mirror
arranged in opposed relationship. The first reflector may direct an input
radiation signal to the first rooftop mirror. Each modulator also may
include an output port and a second arm formed to include a second
reflector and second rooftop mirror arranged in opposed relationship. The
second reflector can guide a signal from the second rooftop mirror
towards the output port to provide an output radiation signal. A
beamsplitting grid may be placed between the first reflector and the
first rooftop mirror, and also between the second reflector and the
second rooftop mirror. A translation apparatus can provide adjustment
relative to optical path length vis-a-vis the first arm, the second arm
and the grid.
