    "abstract": "In any polarimetric measurement technique, enhancing the laser polarization\nchange of a laser beam before it reaches the analyzer can help in improving the\nsensitivity. This can be performed using an optical component having a large\nlinear dichroism, the enhancement factor being equal to the square root of the\nratio of the two transmission factors. A pile of parallel plates at Brewster\nincidence looks appropriate for realizing such a polarization magnifier. In\nthis paper, we address the problem raised by the interference in the plates and\nbetween the plates, which affects the measurement by giving rise to\nbirefringence. We demonstrate that wedged plates provide a convenient and\nefficient way to avoid this interference. We have implemented and characterized\ndevices with 4 and 6 wedged plates at Brewster incidence which have led to a\ndecisive improvement of the signal to noise ratio in our ongoing Parity\nViolation measurement.",
