In temporal speckle-pattern interferometry deformation information is extracted by a Fourier transform technique from the speckle pattern that is recorded over a period of time as the object is deformed. A limitation of the experimental arrangements reported to date is that the direction of the deformation cannot be determined. We propose removing this limitation by using the heterodyne principle. Some experimental results that were obtained by use of a rotating half-wave-plate frequency shifter are presented.

A methodology is proposed for use in the laser speckle imaging field. This methodology modified the graphical and numerical speckle pattern imaging methods to improve their extraction and discrimination capabilities when processing the embedded temporal activity in the images of laser speckle patterns. This is through enabling these methods to adapt the levels of speckle images' interval during processing to speed up the process and overcome the lack of discrimination when they deal with a complex scattering medium having regions of various scales of activity.

Here we propose a not pupil-dependent microsaccades tracking technique and a novel detection method. We present a proof of concept for detecting microsaccades using a non-contact laser-based photonic system recording and processing the temporal changes of speckle patterns scattered from an eye sclera. The data, simultaneously recorded by the speckle-based tracker (SBT) and the video-based eye tracker (Eyelink), was analyzed by the frequently used detection method of Engbert and Kliegl (E&K) and by advanced machine learning detection (MLD) techniques.

By transmitting thousands of images through the MMF, deep neural networks (DNNs) are able to decipher the seemingly random output speckle patterns and unveil the intrinsic input-output relationship. High fidelity reconstruction is obtained for datasets with a large degree of homogeneity, which underutilizes the capacity of the combined MMF-DNN system.

Dynamic light scattering (DLS) and laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) are closely related techniques that exploit the statistics of speckle patterns, which can be utilized to measure cerebral blood flow (CBF). Conventionally, the temporal speckle intensity auto-correlation function is calculated in DLS, while the spatial speckle contrast is calculated in LSCI measurements. Due to the rapid development of CMOS detection technology with increased camera frame rates while still maintaining a large number of pixels, the ensemble or spatial average of as well as the temporal contrast can be easily calculated and utilized to quantify CBF.

Significance: The non-invasive measurement of cerebral blood flow based on diffuse optical techniques has seen increased interest as a research tool for cerebral perfusion monitoring in critical care and functional brain imaging. Diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) and speckle contrast optical spectroscopy (SCOS) are two such techniques that measure complementary aspects of the fluctuating intensity signal, with DCS quantifying the temporal fluctuations of the signal and SCOS quantifying the spatial blurring of a speckle pattern. With the increasing interest in the use of these techniques, a thorough comparison would inform new adopters of the benefits of each technique.
