The quantum theory of polarizing light and the Stokes operators are applied to the study of the evolutions of polarization states of light in the processes of i nteraction with atoms in the case with or without Kerr medium. The non_classic b ehavior in the fluctuations of Stokes parameters for the polarizing light and th eir squeezing are investigated. The polarization ellipse, the degree of polariza tion of the field in quantum optics and the signal_to_noise ratio in the Stokes parameters are discussed. It is shown that the modulated oscillations appear in the evolutions of Stokes parameters and their fluctuations. These oscillations c ollapse and revive intermittently. The polarization ellipse does not vary in the interaction with atoms but the degree of polarization will oscillate. Kerr medi um changes these oscillations distinctly.
