Abstract
In this study, we propose a method to expand the dynamic range of expansion or strain
measurement using statistical interferometry. Statistical interferometry is a very
accurate interferometric technique that is applicable to practical rough surface
objects [

(2001)]. It is based on the
statistical stability of a fully developed speckle field and was successfully applied
to measure the growth of plants in our previous study [

(2007)]. However, the
measurable range of the expansion of the object was restricted to less than one
wavelength of the light used. Improvement of the dynamic range is confirmed
experimentally in this work by introducing a large expansion up to
