Accelerated beams of polarized positrons have important applications in high-energy and solid-state physics. Positrons produced in nonlinear Compton scattering of an ultra-relativistic electron beam and a focused PW laser pulse are polarized due to the asymmetry of spin-flip transitions and asymmetric dynamics of particles in laser fields. Both electrons and produced pairs can be polarized to a high degree in femtosecond time scale. A semi-classical model is developed to describe the classical spin procession, radiative polarization and spin resolved pair production simultaneously, which is appropriate for any field configuration and realistic trajectories of ultra-relativistic electrons.
