Results of measurements of the intensity of light scattered by a smectic liquid crystal are reported for three phases of the specimen. A strong dependence of the scattered intensity on the relative directions of polarization vector and molecular orientation is observed. A mechanism of light interaction with material is proposed, it is attributed to brillouin - like scattering of light on director - system excitations.
