Multilayer thin-film polarizers have a wide range of applications in many fields, such as fiber-optic communication, optical imaging and liquid crystal displays. A combination of layers, the thickness of which is commensurate with the wavelength of the working spectral range, made of materials with some difference in refractive indices, make it possible to create polarizers. Such polarizers are capable of providing a significant difference between the reflection for the s and p components for a given wavelength at a known radiation incidence. In this paper, the influence of the angle of incidence of radiation and the coating design on the mismatch of the s and p components is shown. The paper presents a study of the influence of five factors that affect the characteristics of polarizers.
