Compton polarimetry of polarized proton beams is more feasible now than it was in 1995*, when I first estimated the laser requirements of a polarimeter using the available laser technology. New methods of high energy photon generation make the technique of Compton proton polarimetry a viable option for polarized proton beams. Since the analyzing power of a Compton polarimeter increases with photon energy and the count rate of the polarimeter increases with the laser intensity, the new laser technologies available today imply the construction of a working device with reasonable effort. I estimate the device parameters necessary for a working Compton polarimeter at RHIC using several methods of high energy photon generation.
