In this article we address the design and exploitation of a real field laboratory demonstrator combining active polarimetric and multispectral modes in a single acquisition. Its buildings blocks, including a multi-wavelength pulsed optical parametric oscillator at emission side, and a hyperspectral imager with polarimetric capability at reception side, are described. The results obtained with this demonstrator are illustrated on some examples and discussed.
