High time cadence Spectro Polarimetry allows the feasibility of studying magnetic field evolution coupled with the plasma flows. Such a high cadence solar spectropolarimetry if developed will allow one to study magnetic field evolution in eruptive processes like solar flares, prominence eruptions, etc. A single shot solar spectroscopy was recently demonstrated at Multi Application Solar Telescope (MAST) at Udaipur Solar Observatory. The snapshot spectroscopy is performed by sampling the pupil plane using the lenslet array to get multiple images of the field of view (FOV), which are then collimated and the collimated beam is made to pass through an FP Etalon in collimated mode. As the distance from the FP axis increases, the peak transmitted wavelength shift towards the bluer side. Using a prefilter with a full width half maximum (FWHM) less than the free spectral range (FSR) of FP, combined with an imaging lens, we can get multiple images of FOV on image plane with a blue shift in spectra as we move radially outwards from the optical axis.
