The standard scheme is you convert to circular polarization with 
a retardation plate, and then analyze the mixed signal with a 
beam splitter amd a pair of linear polarizers for the two 
sensors.  You get a quadrature relationship between the 
intensities in the sensors, without any critical positioning.
