pyspeckle

by Scott Prahl

---

A collection of routines to track and analyze laser speckle. This is a python port of SimSpeckle Matlab routines described in Duncan & Kirkpatrick, "Algorithms for simulation of speckle (laser and otherwise)," in SPIE Vol. 6855 (2008)

This implementation contains code for

• 1D exponential and gaussian speckle
• 2D speckle algorithms
• 3D speckle generation

Documentation and examples are available at <https://pyspeckle2.readthedocs.io>

Using pyspeckle

1. Install with pip:

   pip install pyspeckle
   

2. or run this code in the cloud using Google Collaboratory by selecting the Jupyter notebook that interests you.

3. use binder which will create a new environment that allows you to run Jupyter notebooks. This takes a bit longer to start, but it automatically installs pyspeckle.

4. clone the pyspeckle github repository and then add the repository to your PYTHONPATH environment variable
