The paper analyzes the change of the exit light from a circular polarizing filter used inversely according to the interference theory of polarized light, measures the spectral transmittance curves with the combining of circular polarizing filter and linar polarizing filter, and summarizes the photographic performance of the circular polarizing filter used inversely.

Common polarizing filters are linear and may affect the AF and AE functions of digital camera this can be remedied by using circular polarizing filter therein the front part is a linear polarizing filter whereas the back part is a specific filter capable of rotating the light vibration plane of the polarized light passed through the front filter consequently not affecting the AE and AF functions.

Therefore it is clearly shown that reflected light is linear polarized light just on the condition of total reflection or glancing incidence and circular polarized light may emerge in other cases.

This paper points out that a beam of linearly polarized light will generally turn into elliptically polarized light after being totally reflected by the medium division plane, and it mainly discusses the conditions of turning into circular polarized light.

Spatiotemporal self-compression of high-intensity femtosecond pulses with linear and circular polarization in normally dispersive media is experimentally studied.
