Abstract
Monte Carlo simulation of backward scattering of polarized optical radiation has been performed in the time and frequency representations based on the description of radiation transport in terms of the Bethe–Salpeter equation. The histograms of an ultrashort pulse of linearly or circularly polarized radiation have been calculated in the time representation; it is found that for distances between the source and detector on the order of the transport length, the histograms exhibit a strong dependence on the polarization type; in the case of circular polarization, the direction of the polarization plane rotation changes upon an increase in the scattering anisotropy.
