Abstract
We investigated the polarization state of the white light produced using focused femtosecond laser pulses in KDP crystals. The depolarization of the white light is found to be induced by a magnification of the polarization perturbation. The polarization perturbation is produced when the focused laser pulse propagates from air into the KDP crystal.
