AbstractWe introduce a new polarimeter unit which, mounted at the Cassegrain focus of any telescope and fiber-connected to a fixed CCD spectrograph, is able to measure all Stokes parameters I, Q, U and V photon-noise limited across spectral lines of bright stellar targets and other point sources in a quasi-simultaneous manner. We briefly outline the technical design of the polarimeter unit and the linear algebraic Mueller calculus for obtaining polarization parameters of any point source. In addition, practical limitations of the optical elements are discussed. We present first results obtained with our spectropolarimeter for three prototype hot-star.
