Abstract

We have calculated analytically the temporal autocorrelation function of the electric field component of multiply scattered coherent light transmitted through an anisotropically scattering medium and irradiated with a plane ultrasonic wave. The accuracy of the analytical solution is verified with an independent Monte Carlo simulation. The analytical model shows that an approximate similarity relation exists.
