Abstract:

This report describes the development of a specklegram data reduction system for automatically analyzing specklegram output. The basic design incorporates a PDP-11 minicomputer as an overall control center with various optical and electronic components interfaced to the computer. Typical data runs yielded 1-2 second turn around time for each specklegram data point and approximately 1-2 fringe resolution over a specific output halo. Author
