Annotation

The nonlinear electrodynamic phase change of the electromagnetic wave after passing through hexapole magnetic field of the pulsar is calculated. It is shown that in virtue of the equations of nonlinear electrodynamics of vacuum any pulse of electromagnetic radiation changes its initial polarization. Front and back of the pulse length $\tau$ are linearly polarized in mutually orthogonal planes, and the part enclosed between them, in general, becomes elliptically polarized wave.
