Abstract
The polarization of the final electron for the nonlinear Compton effect in a field of a circularly polarized electromagnetic wave is considered. The c omplete set of formulas necessary for simulation of the e --> gamma convers ion at future photon colliders is given. We note the possibility to transfo rm the longitudinal polarization of the initial electron into transverse po larization of the final electron.
