Abstract: The change of the splitting angle of a Wollaston prism with the variation of a random incident angle is theoretically analyzed through reflection law and coordinate conversion.Different from the present documents,the relation between splitting angle and incident angle is put forward when azimuth angle has different fixed value.Experimental results are coincident with the theoretical outcome.
