Wire grid polarizer reflection control

An optical lens comprising:

• a wire grid polarizer having a substrate with a surface;
• an array of parallel wires disposed on the surface of the substrate, wherein each of the wires comprises a coating stack having at least one high refractive index material layer,
• wherein the coating stack is configured to reduce a back reflection of the optical lens below 6% when the wire grid polarizer is embedded in a laminate.

An optical article comprising:

• a wire grid polarizer having an array of parallel wires, wherein each of the wires comprises a coating stack having at least one high refractive index material layer,
• wherein a reduction of a reflectance of the optical article having the wire grid polarizer comprising the coating stack of the at least one high refractive index material layer is greater than four times when compared to another optical article having a wire grid polarizer comprising a grid having a low refractive index material layer.
