The diffraction efficiency of holographic gratings depends on the degree and orientation of the linear polarization of the incident light. A test has been run to measure the reflectance efficiency at Kr 1236 angstrom of two holographic gratings in the orders +1, 0, $min1, as a function of the angle of the incident beam polarization plane. To this purpose, a triple-reflection polarizer, optimized for Ly(alpha) (1216 angstrom) has been fabricated and characterized. The test has been run to demonstrate that the coronal resonantly scattered Ly(alpha) can be measured using a holographic grating in the Ly(alpha) channel of the ultraviolet coronagraph spectrograph (UVCS) of the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) without introducing relevant polarization biases inside the instrument.
