Abstract
We present a semi‐analytical theory for light propagation in three dimensional, strongly scattering, disordered, anisotropic dielectrics. The anisotropy of the system is incorporated by a tensor dielectric function. By starting at Maxwell’s equations, we derive a general transport theory for light including transport quantities such as energy transport velocity, transport mean free path and diffusion coefficient. This approach is based on a fully vectorial treatment of the generalized kinetic equation and also incorporated a generalized Ward identity for these systems. Furthermore, self‐interference contributions to the transport are included by means of a generalized localization theory based on a cooperon resummation first derived for electrons by Vollhardt and Wölfie [1]. Numerical evaluations will be presented.
