Optimizing ghost imaging via analysis and design of speckle patterns

We study the influence rules of the speckle size of a light source on ghost imaging, and propose a type of speckle pattern to improve the quality of ghost imaging. The results show that image quality will first increase and then decrease with the increase in speckle size, and there is an optimal speckle size for a specific object. At the same time, by using a random distribution of speckle positions, a type of displacement speckle pattern is designed, and the imaging quality is better than that of random speckle patterns. These results are of great significance for finding the best speckle patterns suitable for detecting targets, which further promotes practical applications of ghost imaging.
