The backscattered radiation from a medium exposed to a polarized laser beam is the focus of this work. Previously, the spatially varying reflection matrix for a Rayleigh scattering semi-infinite medium exposed to a normally directed, Gaussian beam was analyzed. The method of analysis was the integral transform method and a modified Ambarzumian’s method. In this study, the spatially varying reflection matrix is used to produce the distribution of backscattered radiation emergent from the medium for linearly and circularly polarized incident radiation. A circularly polarized incident beam produces a radially varying distribution, whereas a linearly polarized beam produces a distribution that has both radial and azimuthal variations. Graphical results are presented, and comparisons are made to limiting values and experimental observations.
