Speckle Displacement and Decorrelation in the Diffraction and Image Fields for Small Object Deformation

Laser-speckles show displacement accompanied by structure change when diffuse objects generating them undergo displacement and/or deformation. This behaviour is theoretically investigated by calculating the cross-correlation functions of speckle intensities before and after the deformation. The dependences of speckle displacement on geometries of object illumination and speckle observation as well as on deformation parameters are clarified. The relations derived are interpreted physically by introducing the shift in diffraction rays due to displacement and deformation of a grating. Distributions of speckle displacement are calculated numerically and shown graphically.
