Optical polarimetry is an identified area in which Australia can contribute to CTA. We are planning to construct a prototype polarimeter to be installed on one or more Australian optical telescopes.
We report on CTA-pol progress: Parts have been selected, purchasing is ongoing, and we will shortly start design, prototyping and construction.
