    We developed a model to understand speckle noise in laser barcode scanners. Experimental results confirm that paper surface texture can be modeled as white Gaussian noise, validating our theoretical approach.

    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Signal Processing

    Background:

    • Speckle noise is a significant challenge in laser-based systems.
    • Understanding speckle noise is crucial for improving barcode scanner performance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and experimentally verify a theoretical model for speckle-induced noise in laser barcode scanners.
    • To investigate the impact of various parameters on the signal-to-speckle-noise ratio.

    Main Methods:

    • Theoretical modeling of speckle noise.
    • Experimental measurements of signal-to-speckle-noise ratio (SSNR) dependence on distance, spot size, and detector size.
    • Power spectrum analysis of speckle noise and substrate surface profiles.
