Production of Brewster angle thin film polarizers using a ZrO2/SiO2 pair of materials

摘要

The production of polarizers for high-intensity applications based on a ZrO2/SiO2 pair of thin film materials is discussed. A special approach to accurate determination of a ZrO2 refractive index and the application of direct broadband optical monitoring enable obtaining good manufacturing results.
