Abstract
The effect of thermal expansion on speckle correlation from surface scattering of a transparent dielectric slab was investigated. The speckle patterns on a CCD camera was recorded to calculate the cross-correlation C(T0,T0+ T) between speckle recorded at 25°C. Thermal expansion of the glass thickness creates a temperature dependent phase difference between the forward and backward scattered light. It was concluded that the correlation for two samples of different thickness oscillates with a frequency ratio proportional to the ratio of thickness.
