Abstract
For the A4 parity violation experiment at MAMI we have installed a Compton laser polarimeter in our beam line. We have now operated this polarimeter at different beam energies of 315, 855, and 1508 MeV. A short overview of our detectors for scattered photons and electrons is given, together with a discussion of the extraction of Compton asymmetries using tagged photon spectra.
