We use coherent backscattering (CBS) of light by cold Strontium atoms to study the mutual coherence of light waves in the multiple scattering regime. As the probe light intensity is increased, the atomic optical transition starts to be saturated. Nonlinearities and inelastic scattering then occur. In our experiment, we observe a strongly reduced enhancement factor of the coherent backscattering cone when the intensity of the probe laser is increased, indicating a partial loss of coherence in multiple scattering.
