The design of a highly reflective interference coating with the ability to control the laser induced damage threshold is calculated. The coating consists of twenty-five quarter-wave layers formed of silicon nitride and silicon dioxide with a sublayer of silver on an optical element made of quartz glass grade KU-1. One of the layers which was formed from silicon nitride has a half-wave thickness to obtain a structure like a Fabry-Perot interferometer. A relationship is established between the structure of the interference coating and the magnitude of the electric field strength in the layers when exposed to laser radiation. The introduction of a sublayer made of silver deposed on a substrate into the construction of a dielectric multilayer coating allows one to obtain a reflection coefficient at a control wavelength of greater than 99%. In this case, the fraction of laser radiation incident on the silver sublayer is less than 0.5%.
