Generalized Yamaguchi correlation factor for coherent quadratic phase speckle metrology systems with an aperture

In speckle-based metrology systems, a finite range of possible motion or deformation can be measured. When coherent imaging systems with a single limiting aperture are used in speckle metrology, the observed decorrelation
effects that ultimately define this range are described by the well-known Yamaguchi correlation factor. We extend this result to all coherent quadratic phase paraxial optical systems with a single aperture
and provide experimental results to support our theoretical conclusions.
