We developed a spectropolarimetry system with a ferroelectric liquid crystal polarization modulator for the 60-cm Domeless Solar Telescope of Hida Observatory. The telescope is equipped with two oblique-reflection mirrors, that alter the incident polarization before it reaches the polarimeter. Furthermore, it is impossible to calibrate the polarimeter using unpolarized light because of the instrum...
