Multifilm polarizers based on refractory oxides

The effectiveness of using an electron beam vacuum evaporation method is shown together with the optical thickness monitoring for formation of multilayer coatings based on twelve layers of SiO$_2$+ZrO$_2$ with high degree of polarization. The developed design of the polarization coating is based on refractory oxides for the wavelength $\lambda=660$ nm. It can be used to form polarizers operating as reflective and transmissive optical elements as parts of laser systems.
