We have designed a device that includes a Vector Diffractive Optical Element (VDOE) to determine the polarization state of an incident light beam. The device is able to simultaneously evaluate the four Stokes parameters of the light under analysis. The VDOE is sectorized into several Fresnel zone plates, enabling a compact arrangement and facilitating optoelectronical integration. We have also developed a procedure to remove diffractive effects and systematic errors. From the simulated results, our device is able to identify any polarization incident state with an averaged uncertainty of 0.006%. Finally, we have experimentally verified the VDOE with non-ideal polarization elements to further validate and test our proposed design. The averaged uncertainty of our experimental realization is 3.33%.engAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 Españajournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.optlastec.2023.109400https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0030399223002931open access535.42PolarimetryDiffractive opticsVector Diffractive Optical ElementsStokes parametersÓptica geométrica e instrumentalÓptica física, óptica cuántica2209.06 Óptica geométrica2209.19 Óptica física
