Abstract

Well known relationships exist between thicknesses and indices of a stack of optical layers which permit the definition of very good polarizers of light. One of the most famous types of polarizer is the MacNeille cube. In this case the hypotenuse face of an isosceles right angled prism is coated with a polarizing deposit and then cemented to the hypotenuse face of an identical prism. This polarizer can be used over a large spectral range located in the s vibration stop band. Unfortunately, the insertion losses for thep vibration are large when the angular field is larger than +/-2 degrees . Using very simple optical considerations, we design suitable coating structures that allow the use of cube polarizers over a wide angular range, typically +/-10 degrees in air, when T(p)>0.97 and T(s)
