Monte Carlo simulation of coherent effects in multiple scattering

Using a combination of the stochastic Monte Carlo technique and the iteration procedure of the solution to the Bethe-Salpeter equation, it has been shown that the simulation of the optical path of a photon packet undergoing an nth scattering event directly corresponds to the nth-order ladder diagram contribution. In this paper, the Monte Carlo technique is generalized for the simulation of the coherent back-scattering and temporal correlation function of optical radiation scattered within the randomly inhomogeneous turbid medium. The results of simulation demonstrate a good agreement with the diffusing wave theory and experimental results.
