In addition to the broadband incoherent synchrotron radiation (SR) emission it provides coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) when it is operated in a low alpha mode with shortened electron bunches. At the MLS a special bending magnet beamline optimized for the FIR/ THz spectral range is operational. We report about the integration of a custom made wiregrid based polarizer into the THz beamline and basic measurements of the polarization characteristics at the main experimental stations with respect to the SR, CSR and thermal background contributions.
