Geometric Phase in Quantum Mechanics is generally formulated entirely in terms of geometric structure of the Complex Hilbert Space. We will exploit this fact in case of mixed states for three level open systems undergoing depolarization using the eight di- mensional Poincare sphere and non unit vector rays in H3 within the limit of pure state approach may be found to be in agreement with the Pancharatnam Phase, Berry Phase and Aharonov-Anandan Phase. We will consider the Depolarization of the Three di- mensional fields by introducing the stokes parameters and by redefining the definition of Degree of Polarization using the SU(3) algebra to describe the quantum light depolariza- tion of Non-paraxial beams by minimal reservoir coupling models modeled by Lindblad Master equations and connect the solution of that with the geometric phase for systems undergoing depolarization.
