Abstract:
An imaging probe ( 102 ) for use in measuring surface roughness by angular speckle correlation is shown. The imaging probe comprises a first illumination fibre ( 201 ) to illuminate a sample location ( 103 ) on a surface, and having an input end for coupling of coherent light into the fibre, and an output end cleaved at an angle θ 1 , a second illumination fibre ( 202 ) to illuminate the sample location on the surface, and having an input end for coupling of coherent light into the fibre, and an output end cleaved at an angle θ 2  that is different from θ 1 , and an image transmission system ( 204 ) for transmission of a to speckle pattern caused by illumination of the sample location on the surface by coherent light from either the first illumination fibre or the second illumination fibre.

Claim (Index 10):
A measurement system for use in measuring surface roughness by angular speckle correlation, the system comprising:\n a coherent light source configured to produce coherent light; a first illumination fibre to illuminate a sample location on a surface, and having an input end for coupling of the coherent light into the fibre, and an output end cleaved at an angle \u03b8 1 ; a second illumination fibre to illuminate the sample location on the surface, and having an input end for coupling of coherent light into the fibre, and an output end cleaved at an angle \u03b8 2  that is different from \u03b8 1 ; an image transmission system for transmission of a speckle pattern caused by illumination of the sample location on the surface by coherent light from the first illumination fibre or the second illumination fibre; and an imaging device configured to capture an image of light that exits the imaging fibre bundle.
