Babinet–Soleil compensator

The Babinet–Soleil compensator is a continuously variable, zero-order retarder. It consists of a birefringent wedge which is movable and another birefringent wedge which is fixed to a compensator plate. The orientation of the long axis of the wedges is perpendicular to the long axis of the compensator plate
