1 Fast Solar Polarimeter A. Feller, F. Iglesias, K. Nagaraju, S. K. Solanki Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research and colleagues from the Max Planck semiconductor lab A. Feller FSP IAUS / 15
2 Overview Fast Solar Polarimeter (FSP) in a nutshell Novel ground-based solar imaging polarimeter developed by MPS in collaboration with the MPG semiconductor lab (HLL) and PNSensor Based on fast low-noise pnccd sensor and ferro-electric liquid crystals for polarization modulation Polarimetry of small and dynamic solar structures at increased polarimetric sensitivity (< 10 3 ) or at high temporal cadence in particular also in the chromosphere Development in 2 phases: Proof of concept with small pnccd prototype (264x264 pixels 2 ), single-beam Development of full-scale, science-ready version with 1kx1k pnccd, dual-beam Funded by MPG and European Commission (SOLARNET) A. Feller FSP IAUS / 15
3 Why FSP? Photon budget and solar evolution Tradeoff between solar evolution and noise: Maximum integration time t allowed by solar evolution: t e = 2 x/v Minimum integration time to reach a given required rms noise level σ: t s = (Fσ 2 x 2 ) 1 Δt Δt s Δx Δt e optimum (Δx, Δt) ~ F -1/3 σ -2/3 x: spatial sampling v: evolution speed F: Flux [phot / (s arcsec 2 )] A.

Feller FSP IAUS / 15
5 Why fast modulation? Why FSP? Slow dual-beam modulation is not sufficient for... high accuracy in the presence of strong polarization signals high spatial resolution The demodulated images still suffer from crosstalk between Q, U, V which is not reduced by AO (see poster by Nagaraju) Only corrective: Keep modulation cycle as close as possible to seeing time scale ( 10 ms) 100 Hz modulation! A. Feller FSP IAUS / 15
6 Why FSP? FSP is beneficial for 2 dedicated observing regimes High-precision polarimetry (σ < 10 3 ) Fast modulation suppresses systematic errors Image reconstruction and statistical techniques like Feature-based spatial averaging (image segmentation) Feature tracking in time conserve small-scale spatial information Low-precision, high-cadence polarimetry High duty cycle (95%) S/N in shortest possible t 1 reconstructed Stokes image set per s possible, due to high frame rate (400 fps) short mod. cycle (4 states) A. Feller FSP IAUS / 15

14 What s next? DEPFET/Infinipix - on-sensor charge caching In a nutshell... Decoupling of frame rate and modulation frequency Periodic on-sensor charge caching, in phase with pol. modulation No covered sensor areas, no charge transfer, 100% fill factor Switching time 100 ns Essential FSP sensor properties (e.g. QE, frame rate, noise char.,...) are conserved Heritage from particle physics and X-ray astronomy (BELLE-II, MIXS, ATHENA,...) EC "Horizon 2020" proposal submitted: polarimetry tests with 32x32 4-DEPFET prototype sensor ( ) A. Feller FSP IAUS / 15
15 Summary Summary For high-precision polarimetry the light gathering capability of a large-aperture telescope is more important than pushing diffraction-limited resolution! FSP combines high duty cycle and fast modulation, which is essential for polarimetry at increased spatial resolution The FSP I prototype has successfully demonstrated the potential of this novel polarimetry concept With future large-aperture solar telescopes at the horizon we will try to improve solar polarimetry, based on pnccd (and potentially DEPFET) sensor technology A.
