Multiple light scattering from thermal fluctuations is studied in single-domain nematic liquid crystals. These systems are uniaxial so that diffusion of light may be anticipated to be anisotropic and polarization to persist in the diffuse regime, in sharp contrast with what is known for light diffusion in isotropic media. Our study enables us to do the first quantitative predictions of light diffusion as a function of the scalar order parameter.
