  The GREGOR Fabry-P\'erot Interferometer (GFPI) is one of three first-light
instruments of the German 1.5-meter GREGOR solar telescope at the Observatorio
del Teide, Tenerife, Spain. The GFPI uses two tunable etalons in collimated
mounting. Thanks to its large-format, high-cadence CCD detectors with
sophisticated computer hard- and software it is capable of scanning spectral
lines with a cadence that is sufficient to capture the dynamic evolution of the
solar atmosphere. The field-of-view (FOV) of 50" x 38" is well suited for quiet
Sun and sunspot observations. However, in the vector spectropolarimetric mode
the FOV reduces to 25" x 38". The spectral coverage in the spectroscopic mode
extends from 530-860 nm with a theoretical spectral resolution R of about
250,000, whereas in the vector spectropolarimetric mode the wavelength range is
at present limited to 580-660 nm. The combination of fast narrow-band imaging
and post-factum image restoration has the potential for discovery science
concerning the dynamic Sun and its magnetic field at spatial scales down to
about 50 km on the solar surface.
