Dennis Gabor's seminal idea of a simple all-optical setup aimed at reconstructing the object
wavefront stored on a photographic plate gave birth a little over seven decades ago to the …

From an Interferometric point of view, the spatial random intensity distribution of speckle
patterns photography is analytically derived. The surface roughness is assumed to be of …

A new analytical expression for the average speckle contrast is derived for surfaces of
random roughness at reflection. Rayleigh and Simpson phase probability density …
