Abstract
Two different issues are treated in this Chapter. First, the problem of adaptive optics Polarimetric data is considered. Although based on the experience acquired with one type of adaptive optics system, section 2 aims at being general enough to apply to all similar kind of data. The data reduction process is explained here in detail, stressing the points where careful attention is required and where difficulties may arise. Starting from raw data, this leads us to ‘clean’ undeconvolved data ready for scientific interpretation.
