This data refers to the polarimetric characterization, at a wavelength of 515 nm, of the first prism of the modulator used in the frame of the PhD thesis "Development of a high-performing spectropolarimeter for space usage". The data set contains images corresponding to the "fit procedure" for retrieving the phase variation and the fast axis orientation inside this wedge. Two types of measurements are presented here: for the specimen situated between aligned linear polarizers and between crossed polarized. For both situations, the two linear polarizers were rotated between 0º and 360º with a step of 1º, and five images were recorded for each orientation. In addition, dark images are provided to assess the noise. Each set of images contains metadata with the precise setup of the camera during the acquisition. The wedge under study was rotated here with 90º around the optical axis to ensure the fixation. The horizontal of the images corresponds then to the vertical of the wedge, and the apex angle is situated at the right.
