“Objective” speckle arises from the uneven illumination of an object with a multiplicity of
waves that interfere at its surface.“Subjective” speckle arises at rough objects even if they …

It was after the advent of the laser and its applications in holography that the attention of
research workers was attracted by the speckle effect which is produced when a diffusing …

The occurrence and smoothing of speckle are studied as a function of the line width for a
highly collimated illuminating source. A general theory is presented for speckling in the …

The remarkable granular or peppery nature not present in ordinary light'which Rigden and
Gordon first observed was quickly recognised as being a major objection to the use of …

Generally, speckles impair the reconstruction of digital and optical holograms of diffusely
scattering objects. With the help of an iterative method, it is possible to introduce diffusers in …

When a diffuse surface is illuminated by a coherent monochromatic source such as a laser,
the illuminated area appears speckled. Exposing photographic film directly to the …

Holograms made of diffusely reflecting or diffusely illuminated objects can be scratched,
spotted with dirt, and even broken into pieces without serious loss of information. This …

Since the invention of the laser there has been a growing interest in the random speckle
pattern that is generated when light from this highly coherent source is scattered by a rough …
