OverviewThe "Polarimeter für Bolometer-Kameras", PolKa, is a new tunable polarimeter for mm and submm wavelengths. Very low insertion losses and the possibility to tune its opearating wavelength in a wide range makes it a versatile instrument. It will be used with the MPIfR bolometer arrays at different wavelenghts to produce high-resolution maps of polarization. Further Information
