Fig. 6.19: σ d from ESPI displacement measurements as a function <strong>of</strong> N x , as calculated by (6.19)-(6.21) (black) <strong>and</strong><br />

its intensity-correcting extension according to (6.22) (white filled symbols), with various d s <strong>and</strong> B as<br />

listed in <strong>the</strong> legend box.<br />

By <strong>the</strong> intensity correction, a pronounced improvement is attained for d s =2 d p . This could be expected<br />

since <strong>the</strong> overlap <strong>of</strong> speckle halo <strong>and</strong> sideb<strong>and</strong>s is largest at <strong>the</strong> smallest d s , <strong>and</strong> hence a subtraction <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

speckle noise should have <strong>the</strong> largest effect. Again, <strong>the</strong>re is not much difference between <strong>the</strong> curves for<br />

d s =2.5 or 3 d p , <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> improvement by <strong>the</strong> intensity correction is similar to that in Fig. 6.16. Generally,<br />

<strong>the</strong> curves shown here are ra<strong>the</strong>r similar to those <strong>of</strong> Fig. 6.16, but a careful comparison reveals a<br />

qualitative difference. The FTM yields lower σ d for N x
