Lv. Kuzmin et al., COHERENT BACKSCATTERING FROM ANISOTROPIC SCATTERERS, Physical review. E, Statistical physics, plasmas, fluids, and related interdisciplinary topics, 54(6), 1996, pp. 6798-6801
The intensity of coherent backscattering from pointlike anisotropic sc
atterers is calculated. The polarized component has a peak in the back
ward direction, whereas the depolarized component does not exhibit a b
ackscattering enhancement unlike the depolarized component for the iso
tropic scatterer case. These results agree with the measurement data o
n a disordered nematic liquid crystal.
