A model for nonlinear radiative transfer on a lattice is used to explore observational signatures of anisotropic induced Compton scattering. Ways in which an intense beam of radiation may be altered in passing through a slab of plasma that is optically thin to spontaneous Thomson scattering are explained. A numerical approach to induced Compton scattering which involves solving the equations of nonlinear transfer on a lattice is described. Results of calculations for some simple geometrical configurations (spheres, disks, cylindrical 'jets', etc.) are presented. Some possible applications of these results to the interpretation of actual data on compact radio sources are outlined, and the FIR spectra of AGN are considered.
