Abstract

A method for detecting polarized light is disclosed. Providing a polarized light detection system including a photoresistor, a power source and a detection apparatus. The photoresistor includes a first electrode layer and a photosensitive material layer. The detection apparatus includes a current detection device and a computer analysis system. An incident light is irradiated onto a surface of the photoresistor. Polarization information of the incident light is identified by the photoresistor. Current change in the photoresistor is detected by the current detection device. The polarization information of the incident light is analyzed by the computer analysis system.
