    "abstract": "We present experimental results on a method to perform polarimetry on\nensembles of single photons. Our setup is based on a measurement method known\nto be optimal for estimating the state of two level systems. The setup has no\nmoving parts and is sensitive to weak sources (emitting single photons) of\nlight as it relies on photon counting and has potential applications in both\nclassical polarization measurements and quantum communication scenarios. In our\nimplementation, we are able to reconstruct the Stokes parameters of pure\npolarization states with an average fidelity of 99.9%.",
