Abstract:
A self-consistent theoretical analysis is made of the multiple scattering of coherent laser radiation in a random medium under conditions of formation of a light-induced jet of scatterers. It is shown, that the laser particle acceleration leads to a qualitative change of the temporal auto-correlation function of scattered light as compared to the case of scattering on chaotically moving Brownian particles. The effect of radiation absorption on the temporal coherence of the multiple-scattered light under conditions of light-induced particle motion in the scattering medium is studied.
