Abstract

The invention concerns a light reflecting element comprising a substrate (10), a multilayer mirror (20) and optical coupling means (32, 40) comprising a diffraction grating (40); whereby the reflection coefficient of one polarization is damped without damping the reflection coefficient of the orthogonal polarization over a broad wavelength range and with a large tolerance on the optogeometrical parameters of the device.
