A quadrature polarimeter for measurement of plasma magnetic field and electron densities is described. The polarization ellipse tilt angle is encoded as a relative phase shift between orthogonally polarized beams. This phase can be recovered using standard quadrature interferometric methods. The results from a benchtop experiment are presented.
