It has been suggested that high resolution images of laser-illuminated objects can be digitally synthesized from measurements of the wavefront slope (gradient) associated with the backscattered laser-speckle field. The image synthesis procedure is described, and images reconstructed from computer simulated laser-speckle fields are presented. Noise was added to simulated wavefront-difference measurements to illustrate the effect on the imagery. A Shack-Hartmann type of wavefront sensor is also described that was initially used to investigate the distribution of ray directions in a speckle field. Imaging results obtained with the sensor in the laboratory are presented, and an adaptation of the basic imaging technique is described that can be used to image coherently-illuminated objects through optical phase distortions.
