Abstract

The theory is developed and numerical simulation is performed for the coherent backscattering effect in a strongly inhomogeneous random medium with a finite spatial coherence length. It is shown using the Monte Carlo method that the limitation imposed on the number of scattering events corresponds to lowering of incident radiation coherence and leads to angular broadening of the backscattering peak, extending the possibility of using coherent backscattering in biomedical applications. Based on the diagrammatic technique, the modeling of coherent backscattering is developed for the first time beyond the frames of the ladder approximation.
