Astronomical polarimetric observation is one of the important methods in modern astrophysics research field. In the infrared bands, polarimetric observation is one effective tool to study the evolution and formation of star, and reveal multiband radiation characteristics of high-energy celestial bodies and other aspects. This paper will introduce the system composition, operating principle, calibration and data analysis method of polarimetric observation using HONIR camera on Kanata telescope. We also present part of the analysis results of AA Tau with polarimetric observation, which is one young classical T Tauri star.
