OG exemplary drawing
 
1. A laminate having enhanced p-polarized radiation reflecting properties comprising:
a first ply comprising a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, wherein the first surface comprises an outer surface of the laminate;
a second ply comprising a third surface adjacent the second surface and a fourth surface opposite the third surface, wherein the fourth surface comprises an inner surface of the laminate;
an interlayer positioned between the first ply and the second ply; and
an enhanced p-polarized reflective coating positioned over at least a portion of at least one of the surfaces of the first ply and/or the second ply, wherein the enhanced p-polarized reflective coating comprises:
a base layer positioned over the portion of the at least one of the surfaces;
at least one metal functional layer positioned over at least a portion of the base layer; and
at least one phase adjustment layer positioned over at least a portion of the at least one metal functional layer,
wherein the laminate further comprises an anti-reflective coating, and
wherein the enhanced p-polarized reflective coating increases the amount of p-polarized radiation reflected when compared to a laminate without the coating.
