Depolarizers are used where a linearly polarized light is undesirable such as with polarization sensitive devices. The depolarizer converts the polarized input into a pseudo-randomly polarized output. Our depolarizers are optically contacted and AR coated for high power operation. A variation in retardance across the aperture is created by the wedge-shaped crystalline quartz optic to scramble the polarization. A fused silica wedge is cemented to the quartz wedge to compensate for beam deviation. Wedge depolarizers are achromatic and can be used with any input beam. |
