Abstract
Using the anomalous-diffraction (AD) light-scattering approximation, a relationship is derived between the scattering matrix of an object and its full Jones' matrix. This allows scattering to be calculated for dielectric objects having any kind of optical anisotropy, e.g. birefringent or optically active particles. The theory is used to calculate the small-angle light scattering (SALS) by a spherulite placed between two linear polarizers. Serious disagreements are found between the AD theory and the currently accepted theory of SALS based on the Rayleigh-Gans-Debye approximation.
