| contents | Diffusing wave spectroscopy (DWS) is a well-known set of methods to measure the temporal dynamics of dynamic samples. In DWS, dynamic samples scatter the incident coherent light, and the information of the temporal dynamics is encoded in the scattered light. To record and analyze the light signal, there exist two types of methods - temporal sampling methods and speckle ensemble methods. Temporal sampling methods, including diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS), use one or multiple large bandwidth detectors to well sample and analyze the temporal light signal to infer the sample temporal dynamics. Speckle ensemble methods, including speckle visibility spectroscopy (SVS), use a high-pixel-count camera sensor to capture a speckle pattern and use the speckle contrast to infer sample temporal dynamics. In this paper, we theoretically and experimentally demonstrate that the decorrelation time (τ) measurement accuracy or SNR of the two types of methods has a unified and similar fundamental expression based on the number of independent observables (NIO) and the photon flux. Given a time measurement duration, NIO in temporal sampling methods is constrained by the measurement duration, while speckle ensemble methods can outperform by using simultaneous sampling channels to scale up NIO significantly. In the case of optical brain monitoring, the interplay of these factors favors speckle ensemble methods. We illustrate that this important engineering consideration is consistent with the previous research on blood pulsatile flow measurements, where a speckle ensemble method operating at 100-fold lower photon flux than a conventional temporal sampling system can achieve a comparable SNR. |
