Abstract
An efficient method based on the needle optimization of a new merit function in which a crucial optimization parameter, the maximum electric field intensity in the high-index layers, is included is proposed to design high-power laser thin-film polarizers. Identical optical characteristics and improved electric field characteristics are observed in comparison with those of the designs obtained by optimizing the traditional merit function without SWEF term.
