A simple optical electron polarimeter
It is pointed out that heavy atoms (i.e. those which have spectroscopically resolvable fine structure) are not required for optical measurements of electron polarisation. A polarimeter which uses helium gas instead of heavy-metal vapour is proposed, and several experimental details are discussed. Optical detection of electron polarisation was first proposed more than a decade ago by Farago and ...
متن کاملMulti - colour optical monitoring of eight red blazars ⋆
Context. We present the observational results of multi-colour optical monitoring of eight red blazars from 2003 September to 2004 February. Aims. The aim of our monitoring is to investigate the spectral variability as well as the flux variations at short and long time scales. Methods. The observations were carried out using the 1.0 m robotic telescope of Mt. Lemmon Optical Astronomy Observatory...
متن کاملOptimised polarimeter configurations for measuring the Stokes parameters of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation
We present configurations of polarimeters which measure the three Stokes parameters I, Q and U of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation with a nearly diagonal error matrix, independent of the global orientation of the polarimeters in the focal plane. These configurations also provide the smallest possible error box volume.
متن کاملOptimised Polarimeter Conngurations for Measuring the Stokes Parameters of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation
the date of receipt and acceptance should be inserted later Abstract. We present conngurations of polarimeters which measure the three linear Stokes parameters of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation with a nearly diagonal error matrix, independent of the global orientation of the polarimeters in the focal plane. These conngurations also provide the smallest possible error box volume.
متن کاملAn Imaging Polarimeter(IMPOL) for multi-wavelength observations
— Taking advantage of the advances in array detector technology, an imaging polarimeter (IMPOL) has been constructed for measuring linear polarization in the wavelength band from 400-800 nm. It makes use of a Wollaston prism as the analyser to measure simultaneously the two orthogonal polarization components that define a Stoke’s parameter. An achromatic half-wave plate is used to rotate the pl...
