Spectropolarimetric methods used at the Sayan Solar Observatory for measuring magnetic field strengths are described. The spectropolarimeter consists of a polarization splitter and a ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) modulator, allowing for several longitudinal H measurement modes. The report discusses advantages and disadvantages of modulation-based and modulationless measurements using ordinary slow CCD cameras. In some cases combined variants appear to be preferable.
