Abstract: | Spatial correlation properties are studied for speckle patterns produced in the diffraction region behind a lens which is located at a focal distance from a diffuser with an aperture under illumination of the coherent plane-wave light. It is shown theoretically that, if a ring-slit aperture of a negligible slit width is used, the speckle field produced has a perfect correlation in the longitudinal direction. An experiment was performed using a circular aperture and ring-slit apertures having different ratios of the inner to the outer radius and the speckle pattern produced using the ring-slit aperture with the smallest slit width had the longest longitudinal correlation in all cases examined. The statistical stationarity and symmetry of the speckle field, as well as variation in the speckle size, are also discussed. |
