A dynamical effect of coherent backscattering is predicted theoretically
and supported by computer simulations: The distribution of single-mode
delay times of waves reflected by a disordered waveguide depends on
whether the incident and detected modes are the same or not. The change
amounts to a rescaling of the distribution by a factor close to
. This effect appears only if the length of the waveguide
exceeds the localization length; there is no effect of coherent
backscattering on the delay times in the diffusive regime.
