Abstract:

A prototype of a day-sky polarimeter operated in short-wave spectral region has been made on the base of a DMR-4 double quartz monochromator. Glan prism is used as an analyzer in this device. Application of microcontroller and PC provides for automatic acquisition of experimental data, their consequent processing, and storage. Spectrograms obtained with the polarimeter are presented to illustrate quality of the device operation.
