FDTD results are Ex,Ey and Ez (and H if needed). You should be able to get the Stokes parameters from them. You may find your own reference but I found this SPIE paper: https://spie.org/publications/spie-publication-resources/optipedia-free-optics-information/fg05_p12-14_stokes_polarization_parameters#_=_

However I do not know how did you get the fields distribution with different polarization states. You may quantify each of them, or quantify them as one beam, based on your results and need.
