Description
The various techniques used in the visible and near-infrared for the measurement of intrinsic polarization coming from solar regions are described. Their performance to allow for the acquisition of simultaneous spectropolarimetric data at several wavelengths is discussed. Any development of a future facility should take advantage of these capabilities to measure simultaneously different solar atmospheric layers with high spatial resolution.
