It is shown that the currently used depolarization criteria of Gil and Bernabeu [Opt. Acta 33, 185 (1986)] and Cloude [Optik (Stuttgart) 75, 26 (1986)] may produce erroneous results when applied to a special class of Mueller matrices. Alternative criteria, based on the Lorentz singular values of the Mueller matrix, are proposed. The theory underlying the two sets of depolarization criteria is discussed and their performances on experimentally determined Mueller matrices are illustrated.
结果表明，吉尔（Gil）和贝纳贝乌（Bernabeu）[《光学学报》33, 185 (1986)]以及克劳德（Cloude）[《光学（斯图加特）》75, 26 (1986)]目前所使用的去极化判据应用于一类特殊的穆勒矩阵时可能会产生错误结果。提出了基于穆勒矩阵洛伦兹奇异值的替代判据。讨论了两组去极化判据的理论基础，并展示了它们在实验测定的穆勒矩阵上的性能表现。
