Description
A study of the polarization of the entire nebulosity surrounding the unusual infrared source CRL 2688 is presented. Wavelength coverage from 3800 to 7800 A reveals that the linear polarization increases monotonically with wavelength. Circular polarization was discovered and found to be a constant over the same wavelength range. The implications of these findings in terms of the scattering particles producing the polarization are discussed
