PRODUCT
Detail
The quartz-silica wedge depolarizer is a common commercial design ,the angle between the two components is much smaller and only the first component is birefringent. The second component is made of fused silica, which has a very similar refractive index to quartz, but is not birefringent. The fast axis of the quartz element is generally at 45° to the wedge.
