Possibilities of amplifying of the polarization plane rotation and stabilizing of the light polarization azimuth by the Fabri–Perot resonator filled with cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) are investigated. The influence of the system's parameters on the polarization plane rotation amplification and the polarization azimuth stabilization are discussed.
