dc.description.abstract	Fabrication of an optical spectropolarimeter for the Vainu Bappu Telescope, consisting of a Pancharatnam half-wave plate and a modified Glan-Talyor polarizing beam splitter fitted as an add-on facility to an existing astronomical spectrograph is described, A special technique of measuring the instrumental polarization using a rotating half-wave plate as de-polariser is described.	en
