Speckle Pattern




In optical systems, a speckle pattern is a Field - Intensity pattern produced by the mutual Interference of partially Coherent beams that are subject to minute temporal and spatial fluctuations.

Note: In a multimode fiber, a speckle pattern results from a superposition of Mode field patterns. If the relative modal group velocities change with Time , the speckle pattern will also change with time. If Differential Mode Attenuation occurs, Modal Noise results.

A speckle pattern of Antinuclear Antibody (ANA) is characteristic of the disease Lupus Erythematosus .
