Motivation and Initial Results from SPINOR in the Near Infrared
TL;DR: SPINOR as discussed by the authors is a spectro-polarimeter that will serve as a facility in- strument for the Dunn Solar Telescope at the National Solar Observatory, which is capable of achromatic operation over a very broad range of wave lengths, from ∼400 up to 1600 nm, allowing for the simultaneous observation of several visible and infrared spectral regions with full Stokes polarimetry.
