The International Conference Speckle06 “Speckles, From Grains to Flowers” will be held in Nimes, France, after Switzerland (Interferometry in Speckle light 2000) and Norway (Speckle Metrology 2003).

The organization of the third edition comes from a round table of experts and users present in Trondheim2003 and was proposed to France for 2006.

Since June2004, this new edition has widely been announced at different National and also International Conferences, as the wish of the Speckle users to discuss theory and applications of the Speckle effect.

The speckle and phase measurements are now under study in several labs and countries.
Speckle06 will enable all researchers (from Emeritus Professors to Ph.D. Students) to present their work.
Participants range from experts in techniques development to end-user interested by the application fields (e.g. medical, forensic, fluid dynamics, optics, mechanics, photomechanics …)

Speckle techniques are also widely applied in the industry, and special attention will be paid to industrial apparatus and off-the-shelf component characterization.

Speckle techniques follow evolution in computers and cameras, and of course the availability of Application Specific Integrated Circuits, lasers and coherent diodes will be taken into account.

To enhance result quality and reliability, speckle measurements must also go through certification evaluation. Measurement uncertainties must be determined as quantitative measurements are desired.


Conference Format                                            

The official conference languages will be French and English, but it is strongly recommended that oral presentations be in English so that the majority of participants may understand the scientific content.

Papers will be selected by the International Scientific Committee for oral presentation or poster sessions.

Each oral presentation will last about 20 minutes including 5 minutes for discussion.

Industrial exhibition will be present in different showrooms near the conference auditorium (lasers or cameras manufacturers, editors, system developers …) to promote applications and exchanges between users and manufacturers.
