  In this paper we continue the analysis of our previous papers and study the
affect of the existence of a non-trivial dilaton background on the propagation
of electromagnetic waves in the Kerr-Newman dilatonic black hole space-time.
For this purpose we again employ the double expansion in both the background
electric charge and the wave parameters of the relevant quantities in the
Newman-Penrose formalism and then identify the first order at which the dilaton
background enters the Maxwell equations. We then assume that gravitational and
dilatonic waves are negligible (at that order in the charge parameter) with
respect to electromagnetic waves and argue that this condition is consistent
with the solutions already found in the previous paper. Explicit expressions
are given for the asymptotic behavior of scattered waves, and a simple physical
model is proposed in order to test the effects. An expression for the relative
intensity is obtained for Reissner-Nordstrom dilaton black holes using
geometrical optics. A comparison with the approximation of geometrical optics
for Kerr-Newman dilaton black holes shows that at the order to which the
calculations are carried out gravitational lensing of optical images cannot
probe the dilaton background.
