Abstract

Speckle was re-discovered after the invention of the laser in 1960. The unpublished 1963 Stanford Electronics Laboratory report by J W Goodman was the first comprehensive derivation of the first and second order statistics of the speckle intensity. This short paper describes how the senior author came to know Professor Goodman through their mutual, and lasting, interest in laser speckle. New results in speckle continue to be discovered, and we briefly describe one of these, the elimination of phase vortices using cascade adaptive optics systems.
