Dynamics of speckles with a small number of scattering events: specific features of manifestation of the Doppler effect

Appl Opt. 2014 Apr 1;53(10):B94-102. doi: 10.1364/AO.53.000B94.

Abstract

Spectra of intensity fluctuations of dynamic non-Gaussian speckles formed with a small number of scattering events have been studied theoretically and experimentally. A new type of manifestation of the Doppler effect has been observed. The dependence of frequency position of the Doppler peak and the shape of the Doppler spectrum on the number of scatterers has been analyzed.
