We propose that the full Poincaré beam with any polarization geometries can be pictorially described by the hybrid-order Poincaré sphere whose eigenstates are defined as a fundamental-mode Gaussian beam and a Laguerre-Gauss beam. A robust and efficient Sagnac interferometer is established to generate any desired full Poincaré beam on the hybrid-order Poincaré sphere, via modulating the incident state of polarization. Our research may provide an alternative way for describing the full Poincaré beam and an effective method to manipulate the polarization of light.
