The process of electron-positron pair production by linearly polarized photons may be used as a polarimeter to perform mobile measurement of linear photon polarization. In the limit of high photon energies ω the distributions of the recoil-electron momentum and azimuthal angle do nol depend on the photon energy in the laboratory frame. We calculate the power corrections of order m/ω to the above distributions and estimate the deviation from the asymptotic result for various values of ω.
