Statistical properties of the dynamic dichromatic laser speckle

Abstract The statistical properties of dynamic elongated speckle patterns produced in the far-field diffraction region by a moving diffuse object under illumination of the dichromatic laser beam are experimentally investigated by means of a correlation method. The experimental results show that the correlation length of the normalized autocorrelation function of time-varying dichromatic speckle intensity fluctuations depends strongly on the fibrous radial structure of elongated speckle patterns. The qualitative discussions are given for the experimental results.
