The control of polarization state in soft and hard X-ray light is of crucial interest to\nprobe structural and symmetry properties of matter. Thanks to their Apple-II type undulators,\nthe FERMI-Free Electron Lasers are able to provide elliptical, circular or linearly polarized light\nwithin the extreme ultraviolet and soft X-ray range. In this paper, we report the characterization of\nthe polarization state of FERMI FEL-2 down to 5 nm. The results show a high degree of polarization\nof the FEL pulses, typically above 95%. The campaign of measurements was performed at the Low\nDensity Matter beamline using an electron Time-Of-Flight based polarimeter.
