Theoretical study of the coherent backscattering of light by disordered media
Open accessAbstract
A theoretical study of the coherent backscattering effect of light from disordered semi-infinite media is presented for various situations including time-dependent effects as well as absorption and amplitude modulation. Particular attention is devoted to the case of anisotropic scattering and to polarization in order to explain quantitatively experimental results. A microscopic derivation of the coherent albedo is given which strongly supports the heuristic formula previously established. In addition the coherent albedo of a fractal system is predicted. The validity of the different approximations used are discussed and some further theoretical developments are presented.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
