| Abstract: | Optical activity of xenon atoms in the vacuum UV range induced by circularly polarized laser light is studied theoretically.
The optical activity arises in the vicinity of the autoionizing state 5p

as a result of its coupling via the laser field with the discrete state 5p

. Polarization variations of the vacuum UV radiation upon its propagation through the atomic medium are calculated, and the
possibility of controlling this polarization is discussed. Manifestations of nonresonant coupling of the discrete state with
