Abstract

Laser speckle inside a diffusing cylinder has been used recently to obtain displacement and strain fields of a 360° surface. Because of geometry, the conventional treatment of a speckle field using the Fresnel approximation is not applicable. We present a treatment using the concept of angular spectrum to calculate the autocorrelation function.
