We start with the factorized form of arbitrary Lorentz matrix as a product of two commuting and conjugate $4\\times 4$-matrices, $L(q,q)= A(q_{a}) A^*(q_{a}); a= 0,1,2,3$. Mueller matrices of the Lorentzian type M=L are pointed out as a special sub-class i n the total set of $4\\times 4$ matrices of the linear group GL(4,R). Any arbitrary Lorentz matrix is presented as a linear combination of 16 elements of the Dirac basis.
