Abstract:
A device, and corresponding method, can include a pump light source configured to irradiate a target specimen. The device can also include a sensor configured to observe a probe speckle pattern based on light from a probe light source reflected from the target specimen. The device further may include a correlator configured to determine a material property of the target specimen by analyzing changes in images of the probe speckle pattern as a function of the irradiation with the pump light source. Advantages of the device and method can include much higher sensitivity than existing methods; the ability to use visible probe wavelengths for uncooled, low-cost visible detectors with high spatial resolution; and the ability to obtain target material properties without detecting infrared light.

Claim (Index 8):
The device of  claim 1 , wherein the material property is a material class of the target specimen, and wherein the correlator is configured to determine the material property based on the changes in at least one of position and intensity of one or more speckle lobes in the images.
