Tensor polarimeters used to spin-analyze recoiling deuterons from various reactions are becoming more common. Here we discuss the basic elements of tensor polarimeters, their uses, and the various types of devices. In particular, we focus on those employing the {sup 3}He({ital {rvec d}},p){sup 4}He reaction including the latest high efficiency liquid {sup 3}He device capable of simultaneously measuring all vector and tensor spin components. Finally we will examine a candidate reaction for use in high energy tensor polarimeters.
