First laboratory results from the Pollux UV test bench demonstrate working polarization generation, a first end-to-end polarimetric measurement, and a far-UV analyser with extinction ratio 10 at 120 nm.

abstract
This Astro2020 white paper summarizes the unknowns of active galactic nuclei (AGN) physics that could be unveiled thanks to a new, space-born, ultraviolet spectropolarimeter. The unique capabilities of high energy polarimetry would help us to understand the precise mechanisms of matter and energy transfer and supermassive black holes growth, together with the impact of AGN feedback on galaxy evolution.

Pollux UV & FUV polarimeters: first lab results
First laboratory results from the Pollux UV test bench demonstrate working polarization generation, a first end-to-end polarimetric measurement, and a far-UV analyser with extinction ratio 10 at 120 nm.
