PSIOS (Phase Stepped Images Observed Simultaneously) splits the incident beam into four independent images, each of which is phase-stepped and captured by a separate camera.

DIOS (Dynamic Images Observed Simultaneously) as for PSIOS but only a single camera is used, allowing dynamic or transient events to be monitored.

Poleidoscope uses co-linear beam splitting with four phase-steps and data capture with a single camera.  A solid state polariscope available from Stressphotonics.
