Abstract
We report rigorous numerical simulations that show the presence of coherent backscattering effects in the second-harmonic generation and scattering of light by random systems of two-dimensional particles. Since the medium composing the particles is assumed to be homogeneous and isotropic, the second-harmonic field is generated mainly by surface effects. For the fundamental frequency, the results present a clear enhanced backscattering peak. In contrast, the second-harmonic scattering patterns present an intensity dip in the backscattering direction.
