In this paper, we present a new neutron-optical element, Neutron Multimonochromator-Bipolarizer (NMB). It consists of a multimultilayer structure made of 12 periodic multilayer Fe/Co magnetic nanostructures whose period increases with distance from the substrate. Results are presented of calculations of the reflection coefficients from the NMB. We propose a new scheme of the total neutron polarization analysis for the time-of-flight method in the reflectometry. In this scheme, double NMB is used as a polarizer and there is no spin-flipper before the sample. NMB can be used in polarized neutron reflectometry, in SESANS, and for research of low-angle and inelastic scattering of polarized neutrons.
