Multiple Light Scattering in Ordered Nematic Liquid Crystals

Abstract

We study multiple light scattering in ordered nematic liquid crystals from longrange dielectric fluctuations.The mass operator is calculated in the first Born approximation of Dyson's equation for the average amplitude.Ne~v results are found concerning the spectral function.In addition, the average intensity is obtained numerically using a Monte-Carlo simulation.We simulated the anisotropic shape of the coherent backscattering cone~t he time-of-flight distribution functions and the polarization in the diffusive regime.1.
