Scientific paper

ISOPHOT provided unique polarization capabilities in the MIR and FIR. We give an overview of the ISOPHOT polarimetric modes. This includes characteristics of the polarizer hardware, the observation modes, the on-ground and in-orbit calibration, the basic steps in data reduction and the assessment of achievable accuracies. The 1 σ accuracy of linear polarization is 1 percent for sources with total fluxes of few Jy. The polarization processes in the IR and targets observed with ISOPHOT are summarized.
