Abstract
I present design and tolerancing guidelines for constructing channeled spectropolarimeter systems employing high-order retarders. The discussion includes how to select appropriate retarder thicknesses, how to accurately align the elements, how to tolerance the retarders, and how to analyze the effect of different polarizer types on the system performance.
