| Abstract: | The degree and azimuth of polarization and the indicatrix of the intensity of radiation (λ=0.63 μm) reflected by the surface
of a monodirectional superhigh-modulus organoplastic material after structural transformations induced in it by CO2-laser radiation are measured. It is shown that the space-polarization characteristics of the radiation reflected by the organoplastic
material charred as a result of laser heating correspond to the parameters of radiation scattered by a nontransparent material
with an isotropic surface in the approximation of geometrical optics.
