Description
This document discusses the possibility of using compressed sensing
techniques for measuring 2D spectro-polarimetric information using only
one etalon and a broad prefilter. Instead of using an etalon and an
extremely narrow prefilter (with all the subsequent problems of
alignment), the idea is to use multiplexing techniques to include in the
observations all the secondary peaks of the etalon. The reconstruction
of the signal is done under the assumption that it can be efficiently
reproduced in an orthogonal basis set.

Magnetic fields pervade all astrophysical plasmas and govern most of the variability in the Universe at intermediate time scales. They are present in stars across the whole Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, in galaxies, and even perhaps in the intergalactic medium. Polarized light provides the most reliable source of information at our disposal for the
