Full angular profile of the coherent polarization opposition effect

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We use the rigorous vector theory of weak photon localization for a semi-infinite medium composed of nonabsorbing Rayleigh scatterers to compute the full angular profile of the polarization opposition effect. The effect is caused by coherent backscattering of unpolarized incident light and accompanies the well-known backscattering intensity peak.
