Abstract

Electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) is a wholefield non-contact optical metrology technique for displacement measurement, based on the optical physics of surface-generated laser speckle. Since its inception during the early 1970s ESPI has gradually evolved into different optical designs and has been applied to a range of engineering and non-engineering applications. Development of ESPI has continued during the 1990s with the introduction of new laser and optical technology into the interferometers, allowing further optimization and extending the potential applicability of the technique. This review considers the most notable developments of interferometer design and application that have occurred and been widely published during the 1990s, and examines the current and near-future direction of research into the technique.
