  skos:definition """The second instrument of PVSO is the Magneto Optical
Filter. This instrument is still under construction but its
first phase is currently completed and operational. In this
phase the MOF is able to record intensitygrams of the sun in the
potassium 769.9nm line. With the completion of the second phase
the MOF will be able to acquire simultaneous dopplergrams and
magnetograms of the surface of the Sun.

In the curent configuration, a telescope is used to form an
image of a solar region of interest on a CCD camera. The MOF is
placed between the telescope and the camera and filters the
light by isolating the potassium line. The hearth of the MOF is
a glass cell that contains potassium vapor, which is placed in a
longitudinal magnetic field. The light which enters the cell
passes first trough a linear polarizer which transform the
randomly polarized light into linear polarized light. In the
presence of the magnetic field, the vapor will alter the
polarization state of the potassium line. A second polarizer
with the transmission axis perpendicular to the first is placed
at the exit, blocking all the light but that modified by the
vapor. The output consists of an image of the sun in the two
wings of the potassium line. A second vapor cell, called the
wing selector, will be added to the filter in the near future
and will provide images of the Sun's velocity and magnetic
fields.
