“…The simplest example is that of PADs of atoms in photoionization (PI) induced by linearly polarized light which presents an anisotropy, encapsulated in the asymmetry parameter β e , whose intensity scales with the degree of polarization ( [12] and references therein). This was confirmed by Takahashi et al [13], who probed the linearly polarized components of light, by measuring the PADs using a velocity imaging analyzer in the PI of He, and provided a direct comparison with an optical method based on a single rotating multilayer polarizer.…”

We propose a method, molecular polarimetry, applicable to an extended VUV-x-ray range, allowing us to determine the complete state of elliptically polarized light, including the challenging disentanglement of the circular and unpolarized components. It relies on the determination of the molecular frame photoelectron angular distributions derived from electron-ion velocity vector correlations in dissociative photoionization of simple molecules. The high accuracy of the full set of Stokes parameters determination has been established by comparison with data obtained in parallel with a VUV optical polarimeter used as a benchmark.
