title: Radiative transfer in chiral random media.
abstract: This paper is devoted to the investigation of polarization and radiative characteristics of coherent and diffused light beams in isotropic media with optically active particles. Simple solutions for the Stokes vectors of the direct and diffused beams are obtained in the framework of the vector radiative transfer theory. Results obtained can be used for the generalization of the circular dichroism and optical rotation dispersion spectroscopy for the case of disperse media.
