Abstract: In order to explain polarized light and its polarization state visually,Poincare sphere is introduced through coordinate conversion.Its characteristics are throughly discussed and illuminated.To solve the problems such as the polarized state changes after polarized light passes through some polarizing components,Poincare sphere is more visual and definite than other time-vector methods.
