A depolarizer will change the plane polarization into a mix of polarization states by scrambling up the polarization, the result is to change plane polarized beam into pseudo-depolarized beam and produce depolarization.

Depolarizer is widely used in polarization sensitive instrument. Union Optic offer Quartz Wedge Depolarizer and Quartz Lyot Depolarizer.
