Abstract

The Hanle effect was first used in solar physics to determine weak magnetic fields in prominences (see Leroy 1981). More recently the development of a new generation of very accurate spectro-polarimeters has open a new window for the diagnostics of weak magnetic fields in the solar photosphere and chromosphere, based on the Hanle effect. I present here such recent research programs performed with the solar telescope THEMIS and with other polarimeters such as ZIMPOL and the LOCARNO polarimeter.
