“…A study was done to determine the beam vignetting with respect to the elements' clear aperture and position [1]. For this study, a mechanical preliminary design of the polarimeter's structure was needed in order to feed the optical designer with the optical elements' position with respect to the cryostat's window.…”

We present the optomechanical design of a polarimeter to be used with the SCUBA-2 camera at the James-ClerkMaxwell Telescope. The polarimeter, built to study polarized sub-millimeter radiations, has a clear aperture of 269 mm and is composed of three optical elements: a calibration polarizer, a half wave plate rotating at a speed of up to5 Hz, and an analyzer polarizer. All three elements can be placed in and out of the beam, depending on the telescope's observation mode.
