  • In order to study the depolarization of compound binary wave plates,Mueller matrixes of different combined waveplates were studied by means of theoretical analysis and experimental verification.An ideal depolarizer can be combined with a λ/2 wave-plate and a λ/4 wave-plate rotating at different angular velocities with a certain ratio.Ideal depolarization can't be obtained from the combination of two λ/4 wave-plates or two λ/2 wave-plates.Experimental results are in agreement with those in theory.This study is a good guidance for the fabrication of compound binary wave plates and their application in laser engineering.
