The coherent noise always exists in digital holographic microscopy due to the laser source, degrading the image quality. A method of speckle suppression using the dynamic speckle illumination, produced by double-moving diffusers, is presented in digital holographic microscopy. The space–time correlation functions are theoretically analyzed from the statistics distribution in the doubly and singly scattered system, respectively. The configuration of double-moving diffusers is demonstrated to have better performance in speckle suppression compared with the single diffuser and moving-static double diffusers cases. The experiment results verify the feasibility of the approach. The presented approach only requires a single shot interferogram to realize the speckle reduction, accordingly it has the potential application in real-time measurement.
