We discuss the impact of the scattering anisotropy parameter on the path length distribution of multiply scattered light. A quantitative treatment based on the radiative transfer equation is compared to an extended photon diffusion formalism. We compare both models with diffusing-wave spectroscopy measurements using randomly polarized light.
