Mishchenko, M.I., J.M. Dlugach, and E.G. Yanovitskij, 1992: Multiple light scattering by polydispersions of randomly distributed, perfectly-aligned, infinite Mie cylinders illuminated perpendicularly to their axes. J. Quant. Spectrosc. Radiat. Transfer, 47, 401-410, doi:10.1016/0022-4073(92)90041-2.

The radiative transfer theory has been applied to calculate multiple light scattering by ensembles of randomly distributed, perfectly aligned, polydisperse, infinite Mie cylinders illuminated perpendicularly to their axes. An efficient method for computing the single-scattering Stokes matrix for polydispersions of Mie cylinders is described. The albedo problem for a homogeneous half-space of scatterers is considered. Illustrative numerical results for the backscattering coefficients are computed for polydispersions of cylinders with different refractive indices. An application to the problem of weak localization of photons is given. Specifically, enhanced backscattering of light by two-dimensional, discrete, disordered media is considered and backscattering enhancement factors in exactly the backscattering direction are computed for a number of scattering models.
