The program
Reminder of the basics of coherent optics
  • Huyghens-Fresnel's principle 
  • Fresnel's propagation and Fraunhofer's diffraction
  • Spatial coherence (definition and intuitive understanding)
General properties of speckle fields
  • Intuitive understanding of the origin of the speckle pattern
  • Link with spatial coherence
  • Study of statistical properties (intensity probability distribution, size of speckle grain and speckle halo)
  • Influence of the diffuser on speckle properties
Speckle and imaging optics 
  • Fourier speckle: case of a perturbation (diffuser) in between the objet and the image. Example: atmospheric turbulences in astronomy
  • Subjective speckle: speckle pattern superimposed on the image when imaging a rough object. Example: coherent radar imaging
Experimental practice
  • Study elementary speckle properties (both Fourier and subjective speckle)
  • Applications of speckle for measuring surfaces deformations (digital speckle pattern interferometry)
Methodology and assessment

Lectures with instructive example - Intuitive approach of speckle properties

Interactive experimental demonstrations

Experimental hands-on
