Abstract
We study multiple light scattering in ordered nematic liquid crystals from long-range dielectric fluctuations. The mass operator
is calculated in the first Born approximation of Dyson's equation for the average amplitude. New results are found concerning
the spectral function. In addition, the average intensity is obtained numerically using a Monte-Carlo simulation. We simulated
the anisotropic shape of the coherent backscattering cone, the time-of-flight distribution functions and the polarization
in the diffusive regime.
