CLL advancing the frontier of speckle metrology
We are thrilled to highlight the recent publication of an "Expert Recommendation" in Nature Reviews Physics, showcasing exceptional work from the University of St Andrews and the Centre of Light for Life team. This recommendation is set to advance the field of speckle metrology.
In optics, speckle arises when a laser beam scatters, creating a unique granular interference pattern. This pattern holds valuable information about the laser, scatterer, and environment properties, enabling precise measurements with remarkable precision.
Their recommendation focuses on selecting optimal scattering objects for specific measurements and outlines a method to characterise measurement system sensitivity, debunking common misconceptions in the field.
