We propose a method for measuring the full polarization states of a light field by using hybrid polarization-angular multiplexing digital holography based on geometric phase. Through acquiring the geometric phase distribution of the whole light field by only recording a composite hologram, and according to quantitative relationship between the geometric phase and polarization state, the Stokes parameters of a light field can be calculated. Compared with other methods, this method can be used to obtain the complex amplitude information of the light field simultaneously without requiring other complex devices or elements to be adjusted, thus enabling dynamic polarization state measurement. The measurement results of the light fields generated by standard polarized optical elements, vortex half-wave retarder, and liquid crystal depolarizer verified this method's feasibility and validity.
