Heading	Total External Transmittance (%)	Polarisance of Linear Polarization Analyzer (%)	Long-Term Stability of Polarisance	Acceptance Angle
Double reflector (gold)	≈6	68	May be reduced by up to 20% by formation of surface films19	Reduced by dependence of the phase shift on the angle of incidence
Pile of plates with λ/4 plate	≈7	85	May be reduced by formation of surface films17	Reduced by the geometry of the pile of plates polarizer
LiF reflector with λ/4 plate	≤8	90	May be reduced due to hygroscopic properties2,3	Limited only by the width of the Brewster minima of reflectances
Quartz reflectort with λ/4 plate	≈20	92	May be reduced by up to 8% by formation of surface films	Limited only by the width of the Brewster minima of reflectances
