Addressed here are polarization optics for extreme-ultraviolet and soft X-ray wavelengths, especially as relevant to laser cavities. It is pointed out that the whisper-gallery mirrors studied by Vinogradov can serve as weak polarizers and, more importantly, as birefringent elements. The application
