Results are presented for the second Optical Society of America's Optical Interference Coatings Manufacturing Problem. The participants were asked to produce multilayer coatings which, in the 450–650\text{\hspace{0.17em} nm} spectral region and for light incident at 60° , would have transmittances of 0.7\text{\hspace{0.17em} and \hspace{0.17em} 0 .3} for p- and s-polarized light, respectively. Three different teams each submitted four solutions. Three different deposition processes were used to produce these coatings. The smallest average departure from the target transmission values was 0.79\% . A number of interesting conclusions can be drawn from this exercise.
