                                    One of the first post-focus instruments of the new solar telescope
GREGOR will be a Fabry-Perot spectrometer, which is an upgrade of the
Göttingen Fabry-Perot interferometer at the Vacuum Tower Telescope
(VTT) on Tenerife. This spectrometer is equipped with a full-Stokes
polarimeter. The modulation is performed with two ferroelectric liquid
crystals, one acting nominally as quarter-wave plate, and the other as
half-wave plate. A modified Savart plate serves as polarimetric beam
splitter. With the present liquid crystals, the optimum wavelength range
of this polarimeter is between 580 and 660 nm. The spectro-polarimeter
will benefit from the capabilities of the new telescope GREGOR which
will provide a spatial resolution of about 0″.1 (75 km on the
solar surface). Thus we will be able to investigate small magnetic
features, and we will study their development with high cadence.
