Mishchenko, M.I., J.-M. Luck, and T.M. Nieuwenhuizen, 2000: Full angular profile of the coherent polarization opposition effect. J. Opt. Soc. Amer. A, 17, 888-891, doi:10.1364/JOSAA.17.000888.

We use the rigorous vector theory of weak photon localization for a semi-infinite medium composed of nonabsorbing Rayleigh scatterers to compute the full angular proflle of the polarization opposition effect. The effect is caused by coherent backscattering of unpolarized incident light and accompanies the well-known back-scattering intensity peak.
