A random walk through the field of speckle

The salient features of "classical" speckle patterns are reviewed. The relaxation of assumptions leading to the classical model yields statistical properties that differ from those associated with conventional speckle. Attention is turned to a summary of those new statistical aspects of speckle that have been discovered or explored since the Applications of Speckle Phenomena conference held in August 1980 (Proc. SPIE Vol. 243).
