description

Compton backscattering polarimeters for experiments at sub-mA accelerator facilities use optical cavities to increase the laser light intensity. Therefore, parasitic properties of the optical elements have an increased influence on the polarization state of the light and need to be analyzed carefully. This contribution shows examples of such difficulties and the possible solutions, found during the setup of the A4 Compton backscattering polarimeter at the MAMI accelerator facility of the university of Mainz.
