Scattered light intensity and polarization are investigated for the case of an absorbing spherical particle having a randomly rough surface and a radius larger than the radiation wavelength, where multiple reflections of incident light on the rough surface are treated on the basis of multiple scattering theory. Model approximations are found to be in agreement with irregular particle scattering features determined through microwave analog experiments and laser measurements, which are characterized by a backward intensity enhancement and a reduction of polarization magnitude. The method presented is pertinent to the study of interstellar and/or interplanetary grain scattering problems, as well as those concerning the asteroids and the moon.
