1 Fast Solar Polarimeter Alex Feller Francisco Iglesias Nagaraju Krishnappa Sami K. Solanki
2 FSP in a nutshell Novel ground-based solar imaging polarimeter developed by MPS in collaboration with the MPG semiconductor lab and PNSensor corp. Funded by Max Planck society and European Commission (SOLARNET) Based on fast, low-noise pnccd sensor and ferro-electric liquid crystals (FLCs) for polarization modulation Polarimetric sensitivity: 0.01% Targeted mainly at statistical studies of weak photospheric and chromospheric polarization signals at high spatial or temporal resolution Development in phases: Phase I ( ): proof of concept with small pnccd prototype (64 x 64 pixels), single-beam setup Phase II ( ): Full-scale, science-ready instrument with two 1k x 1k pnccds
3 Main scientific focus of FSP Study of ubiquitous small-scale magnetic processes in the quiet Sun photosphere and chromosphere radiative processes (scattering polarization) on smaller spatial scales The limited photon flux suggests a statistical approach to reach an increased polarimetric sensitivity by Feature classification in high-resolution Stokes images, spatially binning into classes of pixels (e.g. granules / intergranular lanes, cf. Snik et al. 010) Feature tracking in time of highly dynamic structures, e.g. in the chromosphere Predicted small-scale scattering polarization in Sr I nm, based on MHD simulations (Trujillo Bueno & Shchukina 007) 3

5 Polarimetry basics Incoming pol. state Polarization is a phase property of light whereas detectors are sensitive to intensity only Modulator and analyzer transform the incoming polarization state into an intensity modulation Synchronous demodulation with the detector decodes the initial polarization state Modulator (~100 Hz) Synchronisation Analyzer Detector Intensity = + = Polarization = - = 5
6 Why fast modulation? In order to detect a polarization signal of 0.01% we have to perform differential intensity measurements at the same level of precision Polarimetry is therefore very sensitive to instabilities during measurement, e.g.: Atmospheric turbulence Vibrations in the instrument Top panels: Simulated measurement of Zeeman signals of the quiet Sun granulation in Fe I 630. nm with a random image jitter of 0.1 detector pixels rms. Bottom panels: clean reference measurement without jitter. Detector gain fluctuations See also Lites 1987, Judge et al. 004, Casini et al

16 Why fast modulation? Simulated seeing induced crosstalk as a function of AO correction and modulation frequency for a dual-beam setup (Nagaraju & Feller, Appl. Opt., 01)
17 Why fast modulation? Conclusions: For typical moderate seeing conditions (wind speed ~10 m/s, r0 ~ 10 cm), a polarization modulation frequency of order 100 Hz reduces seeing induced polarization crosstalk below 0.01%. N.B.: AO system does not relax the requirements on the modulation frequency. The seeing induced crosstalk is practically independent of the degree of AO correction. At slow modulation frequency, a slow dual-beam setup only suppresses I --> Q,U,V crosstalk and results in a significant spatial degradation of the images

36 Lessons learned so far... The small FSP prototype has performed reliably at the VTT during its first-light campaign in June. Shutterless operation with post-facto frame transfer correction works sufficiently well. Room for improvement taking into account the finite FLC response. Polarimetric efficiency close to theoretical expectations. Stable response in time thus requiring less frequent calibration. A frame rate of order 400 fps (modulation frequency 100 Hz) is crucial for observing high contrast targets on the Sun at 0.01% noise level. Polarimetric sensitivity of 0.01% - 0.0% is currently reached. However, at a noise level below 0.1% we see some artifacts, related to modulator and camera, which need further analysis. Telescope polarization compensation needed!
37 What's next? Phase I: continued work with small prototype Second VTT observing campaign in November, using the TESOS filtergraph instrument GREGOR spectrograph campaign in 014 (tbc) Phase II: development of full-scale, science-ready instrument Early MPG semicond. lab Development of 1k x 1k pnccd sensors MPS Camera housing, dual-beam setup MPS System integration and verification First light at telescope 40
