Implementation of a speckle correlation based optical lever (SC-OptLev) with extended dynamic range

Abstract

A speckle correlation based optical lever (SC-OptLev) is constructed for the measurement of small changes in the angle of orientation of a surface. The dynamic range of SC-OptLev is found to be twice that of a conventional OptLev for the same experimental configurations. Different filtering mechanisms are implemented and the correlation results are compared. Two types of computer automated SC-OptLevs, open source based computing system with a low-cost image sensor and a commercial computing system, are presented with assistive computational modules.
