These programs were described in detail in our previous article [Optics Express, 13, 4420--4438, 2005]. In this paper the simulations were used to model a series of experiments conducted in transmission and reflection. Furthermore the codes were expanded to model light propagating through poly-disperse solutions of micro-spheres. Several particle size distributions were tested and results were successfully compared to Adding Doubling calculations. The influence of anisotropy on the depolarization of light traveling through multiply scattering media was also studied, and we found that for both mono-disperse and poly-disperse solutions, anisotropy is the dominating factor in linear depolarization.}, }
