  abstract =     "We demonstrate a coherent quantum measurement for the determination of the degree
                 of polarization (DOP). This method allows us to measure the DOP in the presence of
                 fast polarization state fluctuations, difficult to achieve with the typically used
                 polarimetric technique. A good precision of the DOP measurements is obtained using
                 eight type II nonlinear crystals assembled for spatial walk-off compensation.",
