Coherent backscattering enhancement in highly anisotropically scattering media: Numerical solution

The problem of coherent backscattering enhancement in media with highly anisotropic scattering is considered within the scalar wave theory. A stable computational algorithm, suitable for the media of finite thickness, is formulated. Numerical simulations are performed, and the results are presented and discussed.

► Effective numerical schemes for the scalar RTE with PD source have been proposed. ► In the directions of the highest anisotropy the source function vanishes. ► CFSB part of the radiation is prevalent in the wings of the backscattering peak. ► Pointed out two basic regimes, corresponding to the case of weak and strong absorption.
