now i know you can polarize light with a type of lens and reflect it back using brewster, but is there a way to "flip" the polarization of the photons so that on their next cycle they ARE polarized properly to flow through the original lens?

A wave plate will adjust the polarization, or you can use mirrors to flip the beam and change the polarization.

Stanwax Lasers sells cheap 1/2 wave plates.

how would the mirror method work? is there a diagram for the angles to do a horizontal to vertical flip?
