Abstract
Following the Van Cittert-Zernike theorem, the normalized spatial correlation of the optical field in a speckle pattern is equal to the normalized Fourier transform of the intensity distribution of the object. By correlating the intensity of a speckle pattern, one can measure the magnitude of the normalized field correlation and thus the Fourier magnitude of the object.
