Abstract
Laser speckle is a prominent source of fluctuations in heterodyne-detection imaging and differential absorption lidar systems. This paper calculates the transverse and longitudinal degrees of coherence between pairs of speckle intensities obtained, in different observation conditions, with a monostatic heterodyne-reception sensor.
