Abstract
Holographic interferometry generally involves the interference of two or more speckle fields reflected from or transmitted through a diffused object. The visibility of the resulting fringes depends on the degree of coherence of the interfering speckle fields. Through a statistical analysis it is found that the degree of coherence of speckle fields is essentially a function of the relative speckle displacement and average speckle size. The analysis leads to a new physical model for holographic interferometry. With this model the problem of fringe formation and localization may be analyzed and formulated in terms of speckle movement. A new formula for ideal fringe localization is then derived from the analysis. Furthermore, a localization factor V c, i.e. the visibility of the holographic fringes, is introduced to analyze the partial fringe localization in holographic interferometry, which is of practical interest to most researchers.
