a narrow cone of enhanced intensity in the exact backward direction from a disordered medium, caused by constructive interference of time-reversed scattering paths.

In optics, coherent backscattering refers to a narrow cone of enhanced intensity in the exact backward direction from a disordered medium, caused by constructive interference of time-reversed scattering paths. This meaning comes from Wolf (1985) in Physical Review Letters.[1]
