Coherent effects in multiple scattering of linearly polarized light.

Comparing the stochastic Monte Carlo technique with the iteration procedure for solving the Bethe–Salpeter equation in the framework of numerical simulation, the time correlation function and the interference component of the coherent backscattering of a linearly polarized light wave in a multiply scattering medium are calculated. The results of the simulation agree well with theoretical results obtained by generalizing the Milne solution, as well as with experimental dat
