Optical polarization emerging from an accretion disk filled with electrons as a function of the viewer’s inclination. Different vertical optical depth are investigated. The wavelength-independent polarization degree emerging from the secondary SMBH disk estimated from our analysis is reported in gray. By convention, polarization vectors oriented parallel to the projection of the disk symmetry axis on the plane of the sky were assigned a negative value.
