The depolarized light scattering spectra of the glass forming liquid ortho-terphenyl have been calculated in the low frequency region using molecular dynamics simulation. Realistic system's configurations are produced by using a recent flexible molecular model and combined with two limiting polarizability schemes, both of them using the dipole-induced-dipole contributions at first and second order. The calculated Raman spectral shape are in good agreement with the experimental results in a large temperature range. The analysis of the different contributions to the Raman spectra emphasizes that the orientational and the collision-induced (translational) terms lie on the same time-scale and are of comparable intensity. Moreover, the cross terms are always found to be an important contribution to the scattering intensity.
