In the paper, degree of polarization fading during transmission of partially coherent light through bulk birefringent optical materials is analysed. It is also shown that classical Mueller matrix formalism for such cases should be changed and a depolarisation matrix should be added. As an example influence of degree of polarization fading on optical retarders parameters as well as on accuracy of degree of polarization measurements are discussed and a result of polarization degree fading measurements of laser diode light passing through a lithium niobiate crystal are presented.
