간섭성을 가진 레이저 빛을 산란체에 주사하였을 때 반사되는 정보의 간섭현상에 의해 생기는 불규칙한 무늬를 레이저 스펙클이라 한다. 레이저 스펙클 시스템은 동물의 특정부분의 기능적인 측면 관찰이 가능하고, 상대적으로 저렴하고 간단한 시스템으로 구성된다. 레이저 스펙클 시스템의 가장 큰 특징은 스펙클 이미지를 영상처리 과정을 통해 미세혈관 관찰이 가능하다는 것이다. 기존의 연구는 주로 영상처리를 통한 화질개선에 대해 연구가 많이 진행되었지만 본 논문에서는 레이저 스펙클 시스템을 소형화 하여 상용화시키기 위한 단계로서 레이저 스펙클 내시경을 제작하였다. 제작된 내시경의 성능테스트를 위해 동물실험으로 성능을 입증할 것이다. 피실험체로서 꼬리부분에 미세혈관을 가진 금붕어를 사용하였고 일반 자연광 이미지와 영상처리된 스펙클 이미지를 비교함으로써 내시경 시스템의 가능성을 보일 것이다.

Speckle imaging is capable of dynamic data acquisition at high spatiotemporal resolution, and has played a vital role in the functional study of biological specimens. The presence of various optical scatterers within the tissue causes alteration of speckle contrast. Thus structures like blood vessels can be delineated and quantified. Although laser speckle imaging is frequently used, an optimization process to ensure the maximum speckle contrast has not been available. In this respect, we here report an experimental procedure to optimize speckle contrast via applying different combinations of varying polarization of the illuminating laser light and multiple analyzer angles. Specifically, samples were illuminated by the p-polarization, 45°-polarization, and s-polarization of the incident laser, and speckle images were recorded without and with the analyzer rotated from 0° to 180° (Δ = 30°). Following the baseline imaging of a solid diffuser and a fixed brain sample, laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) was successfully performed to visualize in vivo mouse-brain blood flow. For oblique laser illumination, the maximum contrast achieved with p-polarized and s-polarized light was perpendicular to the analyzer's axis. This study demonstrates the optimization process for maximizing the speckle contrast, which can improve blood-flow estimation in vivo.

The high coherence of laser beam has made it possible to observe interference effects even in the light scattered from rough surfaces. That's why, when object with a scattering surface is illuminated with laser light, we do see a speckled appearance due to random interference. This sort of unique property of laser speckle has bruht into existence the new noncontaciting techniques such as speckle metrology method of measuring deformation, displacement, and vibration etc of objects with high optical sensitivity. The measurable range of speckle metrology especially used to measure in -plane information, however, is limited by some factors, the so-called strain, rotation tilt of surface and out of displacement perpendicular to the plane of analysis This restrictions severly limits the measurable range of speckle metrology by causing the decorrelation of speckle patterns. It is the purpose of this paper to give a survey on the measurable limitation of speckle photography method that is one of speckle metrology. Namely we will discuss the mutual relationships and problems of each limitations adding the restriction on the largest and smallest displacement measurable with speckle methods.

레이저 스펙클이란 간섭성을 가진 레이저 빛을 산란체에 쏘았을 때 반사되는 정보를 레이저 스펙클이라 한다. 이 레이저 스펙클의 가장 큰 특징은 현재 의학 기술로는 볼 수 없는 미세혈관 관찰이 가능하다는 것이다. 미세혈관 관찰을 위해서 레이저 스펙클 장치로 얻은 이미지를 영상처리 하는 과정이 필요하다. 이 논문은 공간적 방향으로 다양한 크기의 윈도우를 적용시키는 새로운 영상처리법을 제안하였다. 기존의 영상처리법 LASCA에서는 고정된 크기의 윈도우를 적용시켜 영상처리 하였다. 하지만 작은 크기의 윈도우를 적용하였을 경우 이미지의 공간 해상도가 좋아 혈관이 잘 보이는 장점이 있지만 스펙클 노이즈의 영향을 많이 받게되는 반면 큰 크기의 윈도우를 적용하였을 경우 노이즈 제거에는 큰 효과를 보지만 해상도가 낮아져 영상이 흐릿해지는 현상을 발견할 수 있다. 그래서 우리는 이 두가지 방법의 장점만 살리는 적응 윈도우 기법을 소개한다. 우리는 적응 윈도우 기법과 기존의 라스카 이미지를 비교하여 보일 것이며 적응 윈도우 기법을 이용해 영상의 화질을 높인 것을 보일 것이다.

The center of resistance is a important determining factor of tooth movement pattern. Laser speckle interferometry, recently developed for noninvasive measurement of small displacements (microns), was used to detect the center of resistance of a maxillary canine which has normal tooth axis and distal curved root in dry human skull. Laser holographic interferometry was used to verify the results of laser speckle interferometry The following result were obtained; 1. In measurement of the degree of rotation, center of resistance was localized when the traction line passed 4.4/18.0 level from alveola crest to root apex. 2. In measurement of the degree of tipping, center of resistance was localized when the traction line passed 4.6/18.0 level from alveola crest to root apex. 3. In holographic determination, the center of resistance was observed when the traction line passed between 3mm to 6mm level from alveola crest to root apex, therefore the results using laser speckle interferometry was coincided with holographic results.

Laser projector has many advantages of high brightness, high resolution and small size, but the huge drawback of image degradation called speckle which generated by coherence of laser and roughness of surface interrupts their general use. There are many methods to reduce speckle pattern, but they need effective optical systems to realize display to the far field with huge volume. We designed speckle reduction element by using microlens with controlled curvature to reduce spatial coherence. Vibration element was also applied to reduce temporal coherence which considered response time of eye. Designed element was fabricated by simple reflow method and imprinting method. From the results, the fabricated element performed 48.33% of speckle reduction efficiency and 41.29% of optical efficiency with a single doublet lens.

In this paper, we develop a new system to visualize the blood flow map in skin tissue, using the technique of Laser Speckle Flowgraphy (LSFG). The measuring unit consists of the laser diode, imaging system, line sensor, scanning mirror, and one-board microcomputer. The speckle signal is analyzed and sent to a PC, where the blood flow in a tissue area of $14mm{\times}26 mm$ is evaluated and displayed in a 2-D color map. It is demonstrated that the new LSFG instrument is useful to evaluate the degree of allergic reaction in patch test.

To obtain $A_2$ experimentally in the $J-A_2$ theory, deformation field on the lateral surface of a CT specimen was to be determined using Laser speckle method. The crack growth was measured using direct current potential drop method and most procedure of experimental and data reduction was performed according to ASTM Standard E1737-96. Laser speckle images during crack propagation were monitored by two CCD cameras to cancel the effect of rotation and translation of the specimen. An algorithm to pursue displacement of a point from each image was developed and successfully used to measure $A_2$ continuously as the crack tip was propagated. The effects of specimen thickness on J-R curve and $A_2$ were explored.
