A number of papers are known to be devoted to the application of multi
layer monochromators in neutron reflectometry. A specific variant of u
sing double multilayer monochromators in a polarizing neutron reflecto
meter is proposed. The possibility of using similar double multilayer
monochromators in synchrotron reflectometry is also considered. (C) 19
