Re: De-polarize light?

Since un-polarized light is actually just light that takes on random
polarization states versus time, it is impossible to truly de-polarize light
without a time-varying optic. Although, you can argue that something like a
Lyot depolarizer with a retardance much greater than the coherence length of
the bandwidth being detected will be produce essentially depolarized light.

Now I understand the challenge. Thank you.
