This work analyzes the properties of polymers, which make them indispensable in the manufacture of elements used in optics, since the main requirement for polymers is stability when exposed to laser radiation. Currently, polymers are used as active laser media. The most commonly used is polymethyl methacrylate, which is highly transparent and the most resistant in relation to laser exposure.
