A polarimeter for the measurement of Stokes' parameters for stellar and quasi stellar objects in specific wavelength regions has been reported. The variable retardation and dispersive property of a small angle Babinet Compensator has been exploited for such measurement. The theoretical basis of the method is given in detail.
