Summary:We describe a high efficiency polarizing interferometer for astronomical observations in the submillimetric and millimetric region. The results obtained during tests at the focal plane of TIRGO (Gornergrat) lead to the conclusion that the instrument works with the expected efficiency and can be used for astronomical observations of faint sources.
