We exploit low spatial coherence illumination to dephase time-reversed partial waves outside its finite coherence area, which virtually creates a controllable coherence volume and isolates the minimal number of scattering events from higher order scattering in enhanced backscattering (EBS, also known as coherent backscattering) of light. We report the first experimental evidence that the minimum number of scattering events in EBS is double scattering in discrete random media, which has been hypothesized since the first observation of EBS of light. We discuss several unique characteristics and potential applications of low-coherence EBS in weakly scattering random media.
