Abstrakt: The purpose of the article is to provide rigorous analysis of light depolarization by inhomogeneous linear birefringent media in single scattering case. The object under investigation is a lossless anisotropic crystalline slab with surface inhomogeneity. For the analysis we use the Mueller matrix model of such class of media derived in [1], Cloude's coherency matrix method and known single value depolarization metrics. Sample calculations are given for calcite CaCO3, paratellurite TeO2 and lithium niobate LiNbO3. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
