The use of photoelastic polarimeters in astronomy is briefly reviewed, and a visible and near-UV photoelastic modulation polarimeter is described which has been in continuous service on the 61-cm telescope of Pine Mountain Observatory for 6 years. The polarimeter is used primarily for linear polarization measurements, but is easily adaptable to circular polarimetry. The instrument has produced data at a sensitivity level of 0.01%, with long-term absolute reproducibility.
