β¦ Synopsis
This paper describes a speckle correlation technique for the determination of surface roughness, ranging from 1.6 to 50 m. Instead of moving the laser beam, the specimen is rotated to achieve angular speckle correlation (ASC) in the far-ΓΏeld plane. The technique is simple and requires minimum optical alignment. The experimental results show a good agreement with the standard specimen of known roughness. An error analysis on the experiment has been carried out. Together with the theoretical curves, the roughness values can be easily related to the change of incidence angle at a particular visibility of the correlation fringes between two speckle patterns.
