Struggling with array dot operator

I've initialized
t = 0:0.1:20;
L = zeros(4,4,length(t));
I'm trying to assign values to L as follows:
t=0:0.1:20;
for i =1:length(t),
L(:,:,i) = D*diag([(t.^2+1).^2*(sin(t).^2), (t.^2+1).^2*(sin(2*t).^2), (t.^2+1).^2*(sin(3*t).^2), (t.^2+1).^2*(sin(4*t).^2), (t.^2+1).^2*(sin(5*t).^2)])*D';
end
D is a constant matrix. Essentially, there is a different L for each time instant. When I execute this, it gives
Error using *
Inner matrix dimensions must agree.
I'm tried so many combinations of the dot operators since this is a long operation.
Can someone help identify the problem?
Thanks a lot.

Define the t-data before the for loop
T=0:0.1:20;
for i =1:length(T),
t=T(i);
L(:,:,i) = D*diag([(t.^2+1).*(t.^2+1).*(sin(t).^2) (t.^2+1).*(t.^2+1).*
(sin(2*t).^2) (t.^2+1).*(t.^2+1).*(sin(3*t).^2) (t.^2+1).*(t.^2+1).*(sin(4*t).^2)
(t.^2+1).*(t.^2+1).*(sin(5*t).^2)])*D';
end
Also, it is a good ideas to use commas to explictly separate entries of a vector/matrix.

Hi Matt, I've made the question more compact but the error persists since it seems not because of 't' definition but rather due to dot array multiplication. Could you check that? Thanks.
What are the dimensions of D?
This works for me, if D is 5x5,
T=0:0.1:20;
for i =1:length(T),
t=T(i);
L(:,:,i) = D*diag([(t.^2+1).*(t.^2+1).*(sin(t).^2),...
(t.^2+1).*(t.^2+1).*(sin(2*t).^2),...
(t.^2+1).*(t.^2+1).*(sin(3*t).^2),...
(t.^2+1).*(t.^2+1).*(sin(4*t).^2),...
(t.^2+1).*(t.^2+1).*(sin(5*t).^2)])*D';
end
This is working now :) Thanks!

In the computation for L you should be using t(i) not t
