Circularly polarized light can be obtained from linearly polarized light by passing it through a quarter-wave plate. This plate delays one of the orthogonal components of the linearly polarized light by a quarter of a wavelength, leading to a phase shift that results in circular polarization.
When light passes through a polarizing filter, it becomes linearly polarized, meaning its electric field oscillates in a specific direction. This results in the light being blocked or transmitted based on the orientation of the filter and the polarization direction of the light. Polarizing filters are commonly used in photography and displays to reduce glare and enhance contrast.

Linearly polarized light passed through a quarter-wave plate at a 45 degree angle to the optic axis becomes circularly polarized
Polarized light consists of waves that oscillate in a specific plane, whereas unpolarized light contains waves vibrating in multiple planes. Light can be polarized by passing it through a polarizing filter, which allows only waves oscillating in a particular direction to pass through. Another method is reflection off a surface at a specific angle called Brewster's angle, which causes the reflected light to be polarized parallel to the surface.
Polarizing a beam of light is simply accomplished by passing the light through a polarizing filter. The polarizing filter will permit only light of a given polarization (or polarity) to pass through it. There are several different types of polarization, but they affect similar results.
