| contents | The polarization of recoil photon ($γ'$) in the non-linear Compton process $e + \vec L \to \vec γ' +e'$ in the interaction of a relativistic electron with a linearly polarized laser beam ($\vec L$) is studied within the Furry picture in the lowest-order, tree-level S matrix element. In particular, we consider the asymmetry of differential cross sections ${\cal A}$ for two independent axes describing the Compton process equal to the intrinsic spin variable $ξ^f_3$, that determines the polarization properties of $γ'$. The sign and absolute value of the asymmetry determine the direction and degree of $γ'$ polarization. We have analyzed the process in a wide range of laser intensity that covers existing and future experiments. Our results provide additional knowledge for studying nonlinear multi-photon effects in quantum electrodynamics and can be used in planning experiments at envisaged laser facilities. |
