Gravitational waves (GWs) from extra dimensions, very early universe, and some high-energy astrophysical process, might have, at most six polarization states in our four-dimensional spacetime: ⊕-type and ⊗-type polarizations (tensor-mode gravitons), x-type, y-type polarizations (vector-mode gravitons), and b-type, l-type polarizations (scalar-mode gravitons). The peak regions or partial peak regions (of the amplitudes or energy densities) of some of such GWs are just distributed in GHz or higher frequency band, which would be optimal frequency band for the electromagnetic (EM) response. In this paper we investigate the EM response to such high-frequency GWs (HFGWs) having additional polarizations. For the first time we address: (1) the concrete forms of analytic solutions for the perturbative EM fields caused by the HFGWs having all six possible polarizations in the background stable EM fields; (2) the perturbative EM signals of the HFGWs with additional polarizations in the three-dimensional synchro-resonance system (3DSR system) and in the galactic-extragalactic background EM fields. These perturbative EM fields are actually the EM counterparts of the HFGWs, and such results provide a novel way to simultaneously distinguish and display the all possible six polarizations states of the HFGWs. It is also shown that: (i) In the EM response, the pure ⊗-type, pure x-type and pure y-type polarizations of the HFGWs can independently generate the perturbative photon fluxes (PPFs, i.e., the signal photon fluxes), while the ⊕-type, b-type and l-type polarizations produce the PPFs in different combination states of them. (ii) All such six polarization states of the HFGWs have the separability and detectability. (iii) In the EM response to the HFGWs from the extra-dimensions, distinguishing and displaying the different polarization states of them would be quite possible due to their very high frequencies, large energy densities and special properties of spectrum. The observation and separation of the polarization states of the primordial HFGWs and of the HFGWs in some high-energy astrophysical processes will face to big challenge, but this is still possible. (iv) Detection frequency band (ν ∼ 10 8 Hz to 10 12 Hz or higher) of the PPFs by the 3DSR system and the observation frequency range (ν ∼ 7 × 10 7 Hz to 3 × 10 9 Hz) of the PPFs by the FAST (Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope, China), have a certain overlapping property, and thus their coincidence experiments for observations will have high complementarity.
