Abstract
On the Poincar's sphere the spatial evolution of the light's polarization state has been studied quantitatively in the smoothly inhomogeneous anisotropic media with gyrotropy. The main features of the dependence on the sample?s thickness, the gyration vector and the azimuth of the polarization of the incident linearly polarized wave were revealed. An analytical solution of the system of coupled equations relative to Cartesian components of light's wave electric component obtained by transition to rotating coordinate system has been used for analysis. Keywords: Poincar' sphere, polarization evolution, medium with gyrotropy, rotating coordinate system.
