The development of a near-infrared polarimeter and its application to the continuum polarization of magnetic white dwarfs.
A new type of astronomical polarimeter is presented that incorporates a fused silica stress-birefringent modulator which simultaneously allows the selection of chopping frequency (≤ 5 Hz) and spectral tuning (1 ≤ λ ≤ 2.5 μm) with very high modulation efficiency. Two integrating detector packages are...
