Popis: Coherent backscattering of light by optically dense atomic ensembles is considered. The spectrum of scattered radiation is studied. The dynamics of the total intensity and enhancement factor is considered in the case of scattering of pulsed radiation. The spectral and temporal characteristics of coherent backscattering are analysed depending on the observation conditions. As an example, calculations are performed for an ensemble of 85Rb atoms in a magnetooptical trap. It is shown that analysis of the correlation and dynamic properties of scattered radiation makes it possible to separate contributions from different orders of scattering and thereby to study the process of radiation trapping in dense media in more detail.
